About this episode
From Wall Street to banking treasury to finally landing on corporate treasury, it’s safe to say that this Treasury Career Corner episode’s guest has been around the block.
Ben Loper, Senior Vice President, Corporate Treasurer and Head of Financing at Hilton Grand Vacations, has leveraged his vast experience to forge his career ahead. He shares his unique origin story as well as how he successfully transitioned from the banking end of treasury to a more corporate position.
In his current role, Ben is responsible for funding, capital markets, risk management, global cash management, loan underwriting and loan servicing. Prior to that, he was Vice President and Liability Funding Manager at BBVA Compass, responsible for a $13 billion wholesale funding portfolio.
