Pulling together a team with the expertise to give us the ability to view issues through many vantage points is a significant part of the chemistry we have created here at Oyster. Helping clients solve their challenges through leveraging tools they already have or with solutions that they didn’t even know existed is what drives our satisfaction in our own careers.
As CEO of Oyster Consulting, Buddy led the charge to create a successful organization built on the belief that transforming experienced industry practitioners into consultants adds more value to our clients. Buddy Doyle is a passionate and innovative executive focused on the financial services industry since 1987.
Prior to founding Oyster Consulting, Buddy was a Senior Vice President at Wachovia Securities LLC (now Wells Fargo Advisors) where he held leadership roles in a rapidly growing organization in Operations, Finance, Commodities, Technology, Compliance and the Private Client Group. He gained experience working with both small and large firms by starting his career at Wheat, First Securities when the firm had 50 offices and 500 brokers in the Mid-Atlantic region. Through 10 acquisitions and mergers, the firm evolved into one of the largest in the United States.
Buddy and his team have built an award-winning organization serving hundreds of clients in the United States and Bermuda with consulting, outsourcing and software solutions. Oyster helps our clients successfully start, grow and run their broker-dealers, investment advisors and exchanges, achieving significant profits in a compliant fashion. By focusing holistically on one industry, Oyster’s consulting services have helped our clients become more profitable through revenue enhancements and optimizing how they use technology and service providers to achieve their best outcomes. Oyster’s outsourced compliance and CFO/FINOP teams have provided excellent results in helping our clients deliver products and services in a way that keeps them safe from fraudsters, mitigates regulatory and financial risks and protects their reputations.
