“I have had the privilege of observing Sandra’s unparalleled expertise on the debt market in the United States for many years,”
“Her industry connections, technology experience and passion for client service will be instrumental as GLAS continues the expansion of our offerings in the Americas.”

“I am thrilled to reignite my entrepreneurial spirit as we scale our U.S. offerings and continue to build a best-in-class team.
