Last week we bid farewell to Vicki Bandor Braun, who joined Monarch in 2019 as Chief Compliance Officer, as she is retiring. She has been a treat and a joy to work with for 6 years. We will miss not only her vast wisdom in the realm of compliance, but also her rich life experiences, her sense of humor, and her talent of having both an apt business sense and a rich compassionate side. She was a trusted member of the leadership team here at Monarch, and she was loyal at all times to her colleagues and to our clients. She looks forward to spending more time with her husband Tom and traveling to see her family and to see the world.
Our new Chief Compliance Officer, Jessica Gonzalez, began working under Vicki’s tutelage in November, and has rapidly gotten up to speed. Jessica attended our lunch seminar in December, but for those who could not attend, we look forward to introducing you to her soon! You can find her bio here.
