Auxilior Capital Partners promoted René Paradis to president and chief operating officer. Paradis has been serving as Auxilior’s COO since joining the company in May 2022. She will continue in the COO role along with her new position as president.

In her new role, Paradis will oversee a range of mission-critical company functions to ensure delivery of quality service, including the development of Auxilior’s technology platform and operational architecture. She will continue to report to Auxilior CEO Steve Grosso.

“The vision of this company and its executive team is both unique and focused and that’s what initially drew me in,” Paradis said. “I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished in my time thus far and this new role is not only a professional honor but represents the continued growth and direction of Auxilior overall.”

Prior to joining Auxilior, Paradis was COO and treasurer for the Pennsylvania-based National Philanthropic Trust, an independent provider of donor-advised funds, where she helped scale growth over six years from $2.5 billion in assets to more than $27 billion. Before that, she was CFO and executive vice president for Element Financial, where she helped grow revenues from $300 million to $1.78 billion and collaborated with several members of the Auxilior team, including Grosso.

“René has made a profound impact since day one as COO,” Grosso said. “As we continue to grow both in terms of client success and headcount, it only makes sense that her responsibilities and ability to execute her vision grow with it as company president.”
