Bio
Kathryn Hayden
If there is one person I could point to that is without question one of the best relationship builders in the financial services business, it would be Robert Goddard. He is not only client-centric, but an outstanding colleague and mentor. He literally grew up in "The Business" watching and learning from his father, a life long financial professional, but then raised the trajectory of his knowledge of all the moving parts of financial services. He is passionate about life in general and that in and of itself makes him an exception among his peers and most people.

As a service provider for Robert's trading desk at JMP Securities, I was able to observe a trader and manager who understood the intricacies of moving from one trading system to another system on a "cold turkey" basis. As an experienced trader, Robert knew that traders can get very emotional and caught up within their work and may have issues when, even with the best of training, transitioning from one trading system at the end of one day to a new trading system the very next day. He worked with us in managing expectations for his team of traders via documentation and procedures and thus ensured a smooth transition for his firm. His work aided in making his firm a very referenceable client for my company.
