I feel privileged to have spent almost 30 years working with talented colleagues across many of Fidelity’s businesses, all focused on securing and strengthening our clients’ financial well-being. In my last role as head of Asset Management for Fidelity Investments, my team and I worked each day to deliver value to the 50 million individuals, institutions, and financial intermediaries we serve. Previously, I had oversight of our enterprise technology and global services groups. For modern digital companies like Fidelity, I believe that every one of us is both a technologist AND a business specialist. I now serve on the boards of FMR and Colt. I am a passionate advocate for diversity and inclusion, and believe that the innovation necessary to deliver solutions that exceed customers’ needs is best achieved by embracing the unique differences, talents and perspectives of each of our associates. To put this belief into practice, I am proud to have been the executive sponsor of Fidelity’s PRIDE employee resource group, a firm-wide team that supports the LGBTA community. I am an emeritus Board member of Common Impact, a non-profit organization that connects business professionals with high potential local non-profits. I am also an emeritus board member of St. Francis House, which provides comprehensive services for individuals and families experiencing homelessness in Boston. I look forward to riding each year with Team Fidelity in the Pan-Mass Challenge® to raise funds for cancer care and research at Dana-Farber.
