AM
A. Moreau
Managing partner
Formerly macro, now allergic to it. Keeps the reserve book and the right to say no. Has not checked a price since a Tuesday in Cycle II.
Governance & stewardship
The Council: a small partnership, a large amount of posture.
Biographies are abbreviated because credentials are a lagging indicator. Photographs are omitted because the Council considers faces a form of disclosure.
Partners
Operators, not oracles.
LK
L. Khoury
Head of carry
Built funding desks across three venues and one regrettable bull market. Prefers spreads to stories, and silence to both.
SV
S. Voss
Private markets
Infrastructure and settlement. Invests in the pipes, never in the parade that uses them. Owns a boat that is, publicly, a pond.
RD
The Duck
Non-executive crest
Attends no meetings. Votes with silence. The crown is structural, not ceremonial. Compensated exclusively in bread.
Office of the Council
Supporting cast, thoroughly unsupported by LinkedIn.
HT
H. Thorne-Whitcombe III
General counsel
Has never been photographed smiling. Says “noted” in a way that has ended two lawsuits and one lunch.
NB
N. Bellweather
Chief risk officer
Maintains a risk register of 4,000 items. Item 1 is “ducks.” Item 4,000 is “also ducks.”
PQ
P. Quill
Head of investor relations
Responds to every email within a fortnight, in prose so graceful that you forget you asked something.
EK
E. Kasprzak
Chief technology officer
Wrote the custody stack. Deleted the commit history. Is, regrettably, the only person who understands it.
JM
J. Marchetti-Oyelaran
Head of family-office relations
Speaks four languages, none of them urgent. Has attended eleven christenings of children whose trusts we administer.

Chair of the Pond Committee
Identity restricted by charter. Known to wear a hat. Reports on pond-related matters, which remain undefined.
Advisory board
Distinguished, and mostly aware of it.
—
Prof. Dr. Ignatius Fenwick-Dabrowski
Emeritus chair of Applied Aquatic Finance at an institution that has asked that we stop naming it.
—
Baroness Odile de Montclair-Lasalle
Sits on seven boards, owns eleven pearls, has never lost an argument about vintage.
—
Sir Reginald “Reggie” Plimsoll-Crane
Retired from a bank you have heard of, at a time you have forgotten, under circumstances nobody will confirm.
—
A very serious goose
Consulted on matters of rivalry. Hisses constructively.
Join the house
We are always hiring. Of waterfowl.
Applicants must demonstrate calm, discretion, and a working relationship with water. Prior employment at a bank is a mild disqualifier.
