True leadership is about more than inspiring others to take bold steps and reach new levels of success. It’s about creating a legacy that outlives everyone. This is only possible through the development of a culture of empowerment and empathy.Throughout my career in investment management, whether leading teams that boost portfolios or reverse declining products, my success has come from helping people realize their untapped potential. My approach is grounded in my personal story. As a young college student, I became a father, balancing parenthood and an aspiring career. Empathetic leaders served as mentors and saw the resilience and grit that helped me overcome tremendous challenges and difficult career pivots. I seek to foster a similar resilience and grit in the people I work with.The most impactful leaders combine a clear strategic vision with a genuine investment in their people. My leadership philosophy revolves around recognizing talent in others—especially the overlooked—and ensure they are in the right role to achieve the full potential for themselves and the team. I am committed to building a culture of empowerment and empathy that drives success long after I’ve moved on.► CAREER ACCOMPLISHMENTSWith more than 25 years of leadership experience in the investment business, I have a demonstrated track record of building high-performing teams, creating and launching successful products, revitalizing underperforming portfolios, and outperforming benchmarks.As Global Head of Public Product at Nuveen, I stabilized our flagship $50B muni SMA business after 3 years of market share declines, revitalized the underperforming $20B ETF franchise, and am on track to triple our $9B international portfolio.As Head of North American Product Management & Pricing at Invesco, I was promoted to oversee a $600B portfolio of equities, fixed income, and multi-asset capabilities across public and private asset classes for both Institutional and Retail clients.As Deputy Chief Investment Officer at Herndon Capital Management, I led a team that revitalized a flagship investment strategy, reversing a 3-year trend of underperformance to outperform the benchmark by 774 bps and rank in the Top 10% of the peer group.► AREAS OF EXPERTISE Strategic Vision ♦ Change & Innovation ♦ Multiple Stakeholder Management ♦ Institutional & Retail Relationships ♦ Talent & Team Development ♦ Analytical Problem Solving & Insights ♦ Crisis Management ♦ Regulatory Compliance ♦ Execution ► OPEN TO NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIESPlease contact me at jamesnnelsoniii@gmail.com.
