CNS Treasury's people

Hils' innovative approach to finance has led to CNS Treasury's visual simplification of a company's risk, enabling treasury departments to not only comply with regulations, but also to provide a crystal-clear picture of the company's risk profile. As an entrepreneur and pragmatic thinker Hils has a real appreciation of the importance of risk management.

Hils began his career on the Sydney Futures Exchange floor in 1985, followed by experience with development banks and brokerage houses before founding a successful Foreign Exchange company, Tuatara Management Ltd, in 1991.

Together with cofounder Mike Houlahan, Hils founded CNS Treasury in 2004 after developing the software for seven years, first for internal use at Tuatara Management, then for external clients. For the past four years Hils has led the team in bringing this proven, practical software to treasury departments around the world.

Mike has worked in the financial markets since 1985. Mike played a key role in establishing a treasury operation for an Australasian bank, ASB, now owned by CBA.
Mike then had several dealing roles in both foreign exchange and fixed interest before joining Tuatara in 1993. Since that time he's been a key driver in growing both the Tuatara foreign exchange business and the CNS Treasury software product. Mike's depth of experience is reflected in the ease of use and extensive functionality of the CNS Treasury software.
