About Julie.
Julie Hazzard started her finance career in 2011 at Hamilton Financial Partners, under the leadership of Louise Short and Ryan Kruger. She worked in many roles at HFP, including operations, client services, and trading. She was first introduced to compliance in 2015 under the formation of KHP Capital, and later earned the Investment Adviser Certified Compliance Professional (IACCP®) designation in 2017. When KHP Capital was acquired, she worked on the Capital One Investments compliance team before pausing her career to focus efforts on virtual school for her two young boys during the COVID pandemic. In 2022, Julie partnered with Ryan Kruger to help form 10Elms LLP, and now serves as Partner and Chief Compliance Officer. While compliance is her primary role, Julie also supports the 10Elms team with operations and client services.
Julie was raised in Tulsa, OK and graduated from Belmont University in Nashville, TN. She has been married since 2011 and is a busy mother of two boys. She enjoys volunteering at their school, traveling with her family, and occasionally finding time to play the piano.
Why are you in this industry
I became interested in finance soon after college. As I began working and living on my own, I realized the importance of making smart financial decisions, such as budgeting, planning for large expenses, and investing for retirement. I started to learn more about finance and investing and eventually decided to pursue a career that helps others live securely, meet financial goals, and plan for the future.
What do you like to do in your free time?
With two active kids, my free time is limited. I enjoy ballet, both attending performances and taking classes. I occasionally find time to play the piano. Mostly, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
What do you like best about your role with 10Elms?
The ability to balance work and family life while supporting a team that helps clients achieve their financial goals. It’s rewarding to see our clients succeed.
"I truly enjoy my role as Chief Compliance Officer because I recognize how essential compliance is to our team and to the success of any financial firm. When I was given the opportunity to serve in a compliance role nearly 10 years ago, I quickly discovered my passion for the field and the critical importance of a top-notch compliance program in helping clients feel secure and confident. This passion motivated me to earn the Investment Adviser Certified Compliance Professional (IACCP®) designation, as I strive to enhance our commitment to excellence. I am dedicated to supporting our team and our clients by creating efficient processes and procedures that ensure our firm runs smoothly and remains fully compliant with all regulatory requirements."
