Our Team
Charlie M. Hettler -Chief Operations Officer
New Chapter. Same Drive.
After an accomplished 24-year career in the banking and financial services industry, I’m incredibly grateful for the journey—one marked by growth, leadership, and meaningful impact. I’ve had the privilege of holding executive roles at leading institutions including SunTrust Bank, Wells Fargo, IBM, and Fiserv, where I led high-performing teams across Commercial & Business Banking, Corporate Investment Banking, Treasury & Payments, and Commercial Real Estate.
Much of my work centered around innovation in Financial Crimes compliance, strategic risk management, and large-scale technology implementations. My specialization in Anti-Money Laundering (AML), the Bank Secrecy Act (BSA), and fraud compliance has enabled me to help shape effective and forward-thinking compliance functions across the Wholesale Banking space. I’ve been honored to earn recognition in the industry through certifications such as Certified Anti-Money Laundering Specialist (CAMS) and Certified Risk and Compliance Management Professional (CRCMP).
After more than two decades of transformative work and collaboration with outstanding colleagues and organizations, I’m proud to retire from the banking industry with a deep sense of gratitude and fulfillment.
Now, I’m excited to bring that same strategic mindset and operational leadership into a new space—literally.
I’ve joined Business Environments as Chief Operations Officer. With a 25-year legacy of excellence in commercial office furniture and design, the company is poised for its next phase of growth. I look forward to helping accelerate that growth by applying my executive experience to streamline operations, scale impact, and drive innovation in this dynamic and creative industry.
