BIOGRAPHY for STAN DEUDNEY:

Stan Deudney, (CA) has been providing new innovative technology based business solutions to the investment industry for more than 25 years and has led some quite astonishing initiatives for the Canadian financial community.

One of his most notable contributions to the industry is the design and creation of the Canadian Depository Services.

Stan has a wonderful sense of humour that students adore and his wealth of experience provides much fodder for story telling of industry peccadilloes.
