Igor Binder

Fluent in the languages of both technology and business, Igor Binder has spent his career bridging the two. As CSG Partners' Chief Technology & Transformation Officer, he leads the technology infrastructure, integration, and strategy behind the ESOP investment bank's data-driven process. By integrating the firm's advisory expertise, data, and systems, Igor helps CSG deliver more robust analysis and timely insights throughout the employee ownership transaction process.

He first partnered with CSG in 2005 as an IT consultant. In 2026, Igor returned with a mandate to put AI, data, and automation to work across the firm.

Igor previously spent nearly 17 years at Chilton Investment Company and Chilton Trust, rising from Head of Application Development to Chief Technology Officer of both firms. There, he led a 15-person technology team and served on the firms' operating, risk, and compliance committees. Earlier in his career, at Ivory Investment Management, he assembled the technology team and built the firm's first proprietary trading platform.

In his spare time, Igor is pursuing a PhD in quantitative finance at Stony Brook University.
