Evan joined Bell Rock in September 2013, and provides non-executive independent director services for hedge funds, investment management companies, traditional long-only funds, private equity (including investment committee's) and venture capital funds. Evan’s career spans over 25 years in asset management where he has served in senior management positions with major banks such as Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley. His expertise in portfolio management, fund governance, structuring, and operations has allowed him to serve on numerous boards in both executive and independent director capacities in jurisdictions ranging from the Cayman Islands and BVI, to India and Singapore. Evan brings a wealth of practical experience in international markets with over 20 years spent in Asia. Extensive business interactions in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Singapore and Mumbai have provided him an easy familiarity with cross-cultural business environments. He speaks fluent Japanese.  Early in his career, Evan managed global bond and currency portfolios for institutional investors in New York. Subsequently, he spent a number of years in Tokyo where he worked to establish Cayman based investment vehicles and customized hedge fund portfolios for Japanese investors. At Shinsei Bank, Evan was the head of asset management overseas operations where he oversaw the successful establishment of a joint venture and two affiliated asset management companies, obtaining both a Mutual Fund License from the Securities Exchange Board of India, and a Fund Management CMS License from the Monetary Authority of Singapore. Outside of work, Evan’s interests gravitate to wine and golf. He is WSET Certified, and a qualified sommelier. On the golf course, his dreams still exceed his abilities, but he is forever optimistic that hard work will one day lead to a single digit handicap if he doesn’t break his putter first.
