At Wellington Management, I lead relationships with large institutional allocators in the US, including several of the largest asset owners in the US corporate DB, public pension, endowment & foundation, and Outsourced CIO (OCIO) channels. In working with these institutions, I focus on developing relationships with key contacts at all levels and across asset classes to understand their needs and objectives in seeking to maintain and grow business. Given my experience working with corporate DB plans on liability-driven investing topics (LDI), I was asked to join our LDI team, which led to my promotion to Director, Corporate Pension Strategies. In this role, I am responsible for developing, leading, and executing our LDI strategy with LDI chair, Amy Trainor. On a day-to-day basis, this means identifying, sharing, and acting upon the major trends occurring within the corporate pension marketplace. I am also responsible for synthesizing information on corporate defined benefit trends for corporate plan sponsors, developing thought pieces for internal and external use, creating content for and hosting an LDI webcast with experts around the firm, and working closely with various groups at Wellington Management to ensure that the firm is positioned to be an LDI resource and provide solutions to corporate DB plans.

As a relationship manager, I work with clients and their consultants to ensure that the full range of resources and services of the firm are brought to bear on their behalf. I am responsible for assisting clients with long-term investment strategy and policy issues, evaluating portfolio risks and performance, ensuring compliance with policy guidelines and applicable regulations, and meeting with clients to discuss investment- and business-related issues on a regular basis. Importantly I also discuss key allocator trends across assets and introduce new strategies across our equity, fixed income, private markets and hedge fund platforms.

“Chief of Staff” role leveraging my experience at Greenwich Associates, working with the partner and head of our Americas Institutional Group to develop strategy and manage a team of relationship managers and business developers across institutional channels in the US, Canada, and Latin America. Channels included public pensions, corporate pensions, defined contribution, endowments, foundations. Over time we also worked to develop strategy to address the growing family office and outsourced CIO channels. Responsibilities included understanding market sizing, growth, market share, key trends, product and vehicle needs, fees, and resource alignment with multiple teams including the firm’s Investment Strategy team. This role was done while continuing to work with client directly.

I joined Wellington as a relationship analyst working on a team supporting large corporate pension relationships and engaging directly with our clients and their consultants. My responsibilities included day-to-day support, client onboarding of commingled vehicles and separate accounts, responding to ad hoc queries, and required developing a deeper knowledge of the operational, compliance, and legal aspects of relationship management. Starting the role at the beginning of the GFC and working with clients invested in fixed income approaches taught the importance of developing an internal network, collaboration, and responsiveness.
