About Cooper Lecza

I am a graduate of Bentley University holding a Bachelors of Science in Economics and Finance. During my studies I spent a semester in Ireland at University College Dublin studying economics and working at the World Trade Center in Dublin. After graduating I joined Natixis Investment Managers (formerly Natixis Global Asset Management) as a financial analyst supporting the global controller. Natixis Investment Managers is the asset and wealth management arm of Group BPCE and one of the largest asset managers in the world. Following a move to San Diego, I joined Mulligan Funding, a leader in the alternative lending industry, providing hundreds of millions of dollars of working capital loans to small and medium businesses around the country. As a credit manager, I’m responsible for a team of underwriters and funding specialists, and focus on process improvements in fraud prevention and risk management.
