Tom Steiger is a professional in their field. Colleagues describe them as "I've had the opportunity to work with Tom for many years and he has earned the respect of each of his colleagues, including mine, As a manager, I could not have asked for a better person to work with. Tom is reliable and diligent in carrying out his responsibilities with competence and efficiency. You know that whatever task he is working on will be done correctly and in a timely fashion. While his daily responsibilities kept him busy, he was always willing to go out of his way to lend assistance to others or to take on and lead new initiatives to further add value to our clients and enhance our platform. While highly experienced, Tom continues to add to his knowledge and skills and is very quick to pick up new concepts. Recently, Tom was presented an opportunity to learn about fixed income portfolio management and in a short time was able to climb the steep learning curve to become a contributing member of the group that was responsible for the management of the models for the SMA organization. I've stated to others in the past even before Tom became my direct report that if I had to identify one person as being the most valuable to the Core PM team - it would be Tom. He uniquely has the knowledge and ability to do it all - the attention to detail along with the ruthless efficiency while also adding the work ethic and competence. As a manager, I extend the greatest recommendation in hoping that we will be able to work together again."
