Mercantile Global Holdings is the parent company of the San Juan Mercantile Exchange. Cavnar is a longstanding senior executive in both the energy and technology industries. He has more than three decades worth of experience in C-suite roles.
Bob Cavnar Brings Extensive Experience to Gallant Exchange
During his career, he has held all these positions: chairman, director, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, chief financial officer and president. His experience ranges across strategy, startups, financial structures, capital markets, governance, corporate transactions, and now at Gallant Exchange.
