We are planning to significantly expand the Configure platform, and Pia knows firsthand what it takes to grow an investment bank in the right way. We could not be more thrilled to have her on the team” said Joseph Weissglass, a Configure Managing Director.
Prior to joining Bowstring, DeDeyn was an Associate at Lehman Brothers in New York where she worked in the Business Planning & Technology group.
