Background

About William Mark Snyder

Multidimensional analytical leader with a solid business acumen and vast repertoire of technical and soft skills attained over a decade in finance and the arts. I put building community at the heart of everything I do, with an approach often described as encouraging, diplomatic, inspiring and celebrating others. In three words, I'm a ‘passionate project innovator’ who excels with proven results innovating divergent solutions to complex problems. I recently completed tenure as an options-licensed securities trader at TD, having helped thousands of Canadians manage their investment portfolios. I plunged into an intensive one-year MBA in Ottawa with the desire to transition to a more analytical role, which also served as a means to better understand Canada as a whole. I am now in the market on a term role in financial analytics and will continue to learn and develop myself and others as a fully-participating member of an organization. Key competencies include outstanding oral & written communication, presenting, and expert empathy skills able to clearly articulate views attaining buy-in of key stakeholders across all levels of an organization. I consistently deliver on key business asks, and am exceptionally collaborative with demonstrated leadership capabilities training others yet also as an exemplary follower of executive directives. I have a proven work ethic with superior prioritization skills and attention to nuance; entrepreneurial in engaging with new and ambiguous ventures. Rather than either a musician or financier, I ought to be regarded as both in a complete sense, as I thrive interdisciplinary without a trade off. I embody a rare, valuable, and inimitable synergy of what are often found as mutually exclusive realms. To me, one pursuit duly enhances the other, through a holistic work plus serious-leisure balance. “When my practising goes well, everything else in my life also seems to go well.” - S. Bernstein. With years of net career progression under my belt, a solid track record of innovation and in-demand data driven technical skills, I'm confident in distilling managerial insights. With my passion for people development, project excellence, and forward thinking, I consistently execute for overall positive results inspired by futuristic and deliberate attributes [Clifton Strength Finder]. I am motivated to find my own 'pursuit of sufficient merit' and will happily pay full price [achievement oriented motivation style].
