State Street’s derivative servicing suite now includes end-to-end OTC and exchange traded derivatives processing, collateral management, and independent valuations.
Cooper most recently worked at Deutsche Bank in London, where he served as global head of legal operations in the risk management division. Prior to Deutsche, he spent more than two years as chief operating officer and chief of staff for the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).
From January 2004 through August 2005, he served as special assistant and chief spokesman to Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz at the Pentagon.
