Paul O'Connell Email & Phone Number

Paul O'Connell is a Director, Global Head of Digital Marketing at Lazard Asset Management. Colleagues describe him as "Paul has been a fantastic manager over the years at Putnam. He is a visionary who can lead strategic initiatives and complex projects without missing a beat. Paul has a down-to-earth personality and regularly collaborates with other departments and individuals. On any day, you might find him welcoming new employees to the firm, interacting with business parters on conference calls or engaging with senior executives in the C-suite on the latest marketing initiatives. Paul’s somewhat hands-off approach is refreshing, especially since he is ready, if needed, to support his employees with guidance and tools, thus cultivating a high-performance team. In addition to his extensive knowledge of the financial services industry, Paul also has an amazing memory and a knack for teaching and crafting the right narrative from a sometimes convoluted sea of data. It has been a pleasure learning from Paul, and I wish him the best of luck in the next phase of his career." and "I was very fortunate to report directly to Paul for over eight years. one thing I have to say about Paul is that he is the best supervisor I have reported into and is a great human being. Paul is a visionary and was the pioneer in the creation of many systems at Putnam Investments one of which was the world-class predictive analytics environment, where I got the opportunity to work with him and contribute. Paul was always so considerate to everyone who reported to him and was a great mentor too. it was very unfortunate that after Putnam Investments was acquired by Franklin Templeton, we had to part ways but I hope and wish that someday soon, I will get an opportunity to work with him in some capacity."
