About

Delos M. Elder

Founder, Cordant Advisory

Cordant was built around a simple observation: the firms doing the most important work in finance are consistently underserved by their technology consultants — not because the right technology doesn't exist, but because the people recommending it don't understand the work well enough to implement it correctly.

After a career spanning equity research, public accounting at PwC, and engineering investment management software, I started Cordant to work directly with financial firms that need both — the domain fluency and the technical depth — without the overhead of a larger engagement.

"The firms I work with don't need a generalist. They need someone who already understands why the work is structured the way it is — and can build around it."
