In this role, Whitney will focus on environmental, social and governance (ESG) efforts, integration and education across several channels, including intermediary, insurance, Canada, US Offshore and Latin America. She will be focused on building partnerships across these channels, managing the education and training of advisors and investment professionals, as well as ensuring the understanding of the policy and regulation landscape for each of the regions. She will report to Marina Severinovsky, Head of Sustainability, North America.

Whitney has been with Schroders for over 16 years, serving in various roles. Most recently, she has worked as an investment strategist on the intermediary team, focused on building client relationships, providing market insights and product positioning. Previously, she was a Portfolio Manager/Client Portfolio Manager for the Municipal team, and an Investment Director across US and Global Fixed Income and Securitized Credit.

Marina Severinovsky, Head of Sustainability, North America, commented:

"Whitney's deep experience from both the investment and distribution perspectives within Schroders positions her well for this new role. With ongoing industry conversations around how asset managers can best define and disclose their ESG strategies, it's imperative that we have a team skilled in integrating ESG across asset classes and in educating clients on how they can align their investments with their values."

Over the recent years, Schroders has been expanding and strengthening its sustainability commitments and capabilities. Whitney's appointment is one of several new additions to the sustainability team since late 2021. Additionally, the firm is a member of the Net Zero Asset Managers Initiative and was rated A+ for its sustainable investing approach by UN PRI.
