He was previously treasurer at Ameriprise Financial, and during 13 years at Bank of America was executive vice president of its corporate treasury.

Weindorf, who joined the firm as a director, was a senior business leader at Visa Inc., and led the team responsible for all foreign-exchange activities. Before that, he was a director in treasury at Starbucks Corp., where he oversaw the company’s FX and commodity risk management, investment portfolio, capital-market functions, and enterprise risk management. Previously, Alan was assistant treasurer at Transamerica Corp.

“Richard and Alan are highly esteemed leaders and risk professionals who bring to Promontory significant experience in payments, treasury operations, and foreign exchange,” said Konrad Alt, Promontory’s chief operating officer. “They are ideally suited to help companies pursue the remarkable growth opportunities — and manage the abundant risks — that these areas offer.”
