Coming together as Columbia Threadneedle Investments, our existing investment teams establish a larger, better resourced group to leverage the capabilities and resources of both firms for the benefit of clients.

I am the Co-Head of Global Operations for Columbia Threadneedle Investments ("CTI"); operations has about 600 employees across three continents and 9 cities. I am also the Regional Head of Operations for EMEA. I work closely with the other Co-Head based who is based in Boston and jointly we own the strategy and execution of operations, the P&L and the global leadership team. My functional focus is on client (and intermediary) facing areas of operations, Client Change and the Business Change function which is responsible for delivering change for our global asset management firm. I have a number of board roles, including interim CEO for our UK ACD and chair of our SICAV Manco. I am a member of the Global Heads Group of CTI and of the CTI EMEA Executive Committees. I have been with the firm for nearly 15 years working across different areas within operations.
