Hartig brings more than 16 years of technology and management experience to Eze Castle and most recently served as the chief technology officer at Seasons Capital Management. During his nearly four years at Seasons, Hartig managed the hedge fund's technology infrastructure and IT operations. Previously, Hartig was service director of Eze Castle's San Francisco office, overseeing the company's service delivery.
Lehman is a 13-year technology expert who comes to Eze Castle from alternative investment advisor, Varde Partners, where he served as director of technology. While at Varde, Lehman successfully managed the firm's technology initiatives across three countries. Prior to Varde, Lehman was the service director for Eze Castle's Minnesota operations and was integral in launching the company's San Francisco and Chicago offices.
