Nathalie: Transforming Risk into Competitive Advantage
Nathalie Bouchard doesn't just solve compliance problems—she reimagines them as growth engines. With over 25 years of specialized expertise in navigating complex regulatory landscapes spanning $200+ billion in assets, she has built her reputation on a simple premise: the best hedge fund governance isn't felt, it's leveraged.
Throughout her career, Nathalie pioneered risk-based frameworks that didn't just protect assets—they accelerated institutional capital raising and operational scaling. Her approach goes far beyond regulatory checkbox compliance, architecting governance ecosystems that institutional investors recognize as gold standard while enabling managers to focus on alpha generation.
What sets Nathalie apart is her rare combination of regulatory depth and commercial insight. She identifies operational vulnerabilities that escape traditional due diligence, then designs practical solutions that strengthen without constraining. Through Thalia Advisory, she brings this strategic governance expertise directly to hedge fund leadership teams ready to transform regulatory requirements from overhead into competitive differentiation.
