Stanford?

Or is their B/D only in Houston? You tell us! A friend of Dealbreaker passes on the following “urgent” request from a headhunter looking to fill a CFO slot:

Date: Wed, 4 Mar 2009 16:35:57 +0000
Subject: Urgent Mandate for a CFO from a broker-dealer
I have a confidential search for a Chief Financial Officer in Miami, Florida. This is an urgent and immediate hire.

If you or your referral have an interest in a CFO position at a Private Wealth Management Firm (Broker-Dealer) please email me.
An ideal candidate has a MBA and Series 27 registration, extensive experience at a broker dealer currently and a great understanding of offshore securities and structures.
Please do not call. An email would be the best way to get a response.
Kind Regards,
[redacted]

    Money? Miami? Personally I’d contact the CIA.

    That’s obviously from a “garage band” headhunter. Pros NEVER use email for the C suite jobs.

    @9 – Excellent! Time for a new line of inspirational ID badge lanyards woven with “WWTMD?”

    @3
    “It is imperative that the CFO understands these offshore securities and structures that fall under the title of “unregistered” securities and the nuances of these products and services.”
    I mean come on…. I am surprised they don’t just come out and say an advanced degree in money laundering is a requirement.. oh maybe they just did..

    It can’t be for a job at Stanford in Miami. If it were, the job description would be written in crayon. Danny Bogar (the President of Stanford Group Company) wasn’t allowed to use sharp objects such as pencils or pens.

    @4 let’s just say he is now sleeping with the fishes.

    The Danny Bogar crayon bit……very funny!
    Check out what Danny has to say about Sir Allen on the Stanford Capital Group website. I would venture to say the brown on his nose ain’t peanut butter.

    DANNY BOGAR on Allen Stanford
    “Our Chairman, Sir Allen Stanford gives each and every one of us everything we need to do
    business and to be successful. The philosophy is not only to give our people the best, but to
    empower them to make decisions and execute for the good of our clients. Empowerment of the
    Stanford people is core to our philosophy of Hard Work, Clear Vision, and Value for the Client.
    The day you have the Stanford Shield pinned to your lapel is the day you take on a great sense of
    responsibility because at Stanford you truly are empowered. This is a great responsibility and,
    honestly it is not for everyone. But that is the reason Stanford people are the “Best of the
    Best” who have taken the responsibility and ownership of executing.”
