Andrew Brock

I’m an investment operations and client services professional with 16 years’ experience across buy-side, sell-side, and prime brokerage. My career has taken me from trading desks and reconciliations to client-facing roles at Citi, UBS O’Connor, and Värde Partners, where I built a reputation for problem-solving under pressure, improving processes, and strengthening client relationships.

In 2021, I stepped out of banking to run a career coaching practice. Over two years, I delivered 200+ sessions, helping professionals in finance and fintech navigate redundancy, career transitions, and burnout. That experience sharpened my mentoring skills and deepened my understanding of resilience, people, and leadership.

Now, I’m ready to return to financial services, bringing together operational expertise with a coach’s eye for people and performance. Whether solving trade breaks, improving settlement efficiency, or mentoring colleagues, I thrive at the intersection of detail and human connection.

Outside of work, I write, blog, and explore life’s tougher questions with the same curiosity I bring to markets and teams.
