About this episode
Much like anything worthwhile, a successful treasury career isn’t built in a day. It takes hard work, dedication, and some weathered advice from someone who’s walked the path before.
That’s why we have Lane Silverman, Treasury Consultant and Advisor for XY Treasury Consulting on today’s Treasury Career Corner. Coming from top-level treasury roles at JT Inc., Bunge Ltd., and a handful of others, it’s safe to say he knows a thing or two about how to position yourself for success.
Lane's first job out of University was at a bank, where he worked on Structured Finance and Asset trading, and subsequently at the Foreign Exchange desk and Bond Trading. After several years in banking, he made the switch to a Dutch-Asian Trading conglomerate where he worked in their Treasury and Finance department. In the late 90s he swung right back into a banking role at American Express, before eventually ending up back in treasury with a role at Bunge, then JTI Inc.
Presently, Lane is focused on consulting with the possibility of some interim work in the near future.
