NEW YORK, LONDON and HONG KONG, Sept. 07, 2016 -- Hazeltree, the leading provider of integrated buy-side treasury management solutions, today announced that Sol Zlotchenko has joined the company as its chief technology officer. In this role, Zlotchenko leads all aspects of technology direction, product development and technical support for Hazeltree’s treasury solutions. He joins Hazeltree with more than 20 years of software industry experience and extensive financial technology and hedge fund expertise.

“Due to increased regulatory constraints around managing cash and collateral, the need for robust treasury solutions is more critical than ever before,” said Sameer Shalaby, CEO of Hazeltree. “Sol’s expertise in building innovative FinTech products and scaling development organizations will be essential in taking our products to the next level and supporting our clients’ complex needs around managing treasury. As we evaluate the impact of cutting edge technologies such as blockchain and big data, Sol’s leadership will be critical to our continued products innovation.”

As CTO, Zlotchenko was responsible for all aspects of technology operations including development and product management. He played a key role in building Paladyne's hosted Application Service Provider (ASP) solution, which was scalable for hedge funds of any size and for industry service providers such as fund administrators and prime brokers. Under his leadership, Paladyne’s front-to-back office solutions managed large data volumes and offered real-time flexibility, enabling Paladyne to grow its client base from hedge funds to larger institutional buy-side firms and banks.

“As regulations continue to reshape the financial industry, we continue advancing our products to help our clients manage this disruption, identify unrealized alpha opportunities as well as improve operational efficiencies around managing cash and collateral,” said Sol Zlotchenko, chief technology officer of Hazeltree. “Our mission is to help our clients efficiently manage their counterparties with a comprehensive and transparent view of the market.”
