Director of Finance & Operations

The Director of Finance & Operations oversees the firm’s accounting, fund finance, and key related operational functions across Quona’s funds and corporate management entities. Reporting to the COO, this individual plays a central role in ensuring that the firm maintains best-in-class financial management, investor reporting, and operational processes as it continues to scale.
