Meet Our Team

A major strength of the Certrax business is the diversified background of the Board and the management team, as well as that of our non-management investors. We are not consultants but more a business built on management experience obtained by holding senior executive line management positions, in various countries, ranging from small real estate businesses to large multinational financial institutions. All of the team have significant risk management experience and are used to making key risk based decisions; we understand the responsibility and the exposure that comes with that responsibility
