The jury particularly recognized Hunt’s pioneering work in three areas: restructuring the value chain positioning of institutional sales, upgrading traditional transaction execution to a comprehensive service covering investment consulting, risk management and policy analysis; developing an “intelligent customer demand mapping system” to accurately match the differentiated needs of institutional investors through machine learning; and establishing a cross-regional collaborative network to enable CSC Bella Grove’s EMEA and APAC teams to seamlessly serve global customers 24 hours a day. Data shows that under Hunt’s leadership, the company’s institutional business customer retention rate reached 98%, and high value-added service revenue increased by 25% annually.

Hunt attributed this honor to teamwork: “A true sales leader is not an individual hero, but a value creator who can empower the entire platform.” It is reported that he is leading CSC Bella Grove to develop a new generation of institutional service ecosystem, integrating ESG analysis, derivatives engineering and digital asset services, and further consolidating the company’s leading position in the field of high-end institutional services. This honor is not only a recognition of personal achievements, but also a forward-looking affirmation of CSC Bella Grove’s institutional business strategy.
