“KKR Selects OpsCheck for Business Operations Improvements”

“The COO can manage all the operational tasks, make sure they are getting done on a timely basis, and provide accountability”

Frank Caccio

Managing Partner
Frank Caccio founded OpsCheck in 2014 following a successful 25+ year career in Investment Management Operations and Hedge Fund Management. The vision for OpsCheck developed over several years as Frank recognized and focused on the growing demand for an enterprise-wide solution to enhance Operations control and oversight for investment operations and management. Spreadsheets would never provide the flexibility, breadth and scale required to effectively track complex, global financial operations across multiple departments, offices and regions.

Following Frank’s last COO role with Galle Global Macro, he set-out to turn his vision and dream into a reality that could benefit all types of financial operations and investment firms spanning the globe. Prior to this, he was Head of Global Operations for two prominent hedge funds: Tiger Management and Highbridge Capital. Frank has also held COO positions for several smaller hedge funds: Claiborne Capital, IFL and the aforementioned Galle Global Macro. Frank started his illustrious career as an operations manager at Morgan Stanley, where he gained vast experience in investment operations for a market leader in one of Wall Street’s most storied franchises.
