"The alternative asset management industry is facing unprecedented scrutiny from policymakers around the globe. Jill's experience will be an asset to our team, as MFA works to advance the interests of our members and promote a stable regulatory system that allows MFA members to raise capital, invest it, and generate returns for their beneficiaries, which include pensions, foundations, and endowments," said Jennifer Han, MFA Head of Global Regulatory Affairs.

Most recently, Whitelaw served as Executive Director at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, where she managed a range of legal and regulatory matters. Previously, she held senior legal roles at major financial firms, including Lincoln National Life and New York Life, and served as Of Counsel at Montgomery McCracken Walker & Rhoads. She also held roles at Merrill Lynch & Co., Gartmore Global Investments (Nationwide Insurance), PNC Bank, and Ballard Spahr.

"Jill's expertise in navigating private fund regulation will benefit MFA members and their beneficiaries including pensions, foundations, and endowments. She understands the important role alternative asset managers play in the financial system and will enhance MFA advocacy," said Bryan Corbett, MFA President and CEO.

Whitelaw received her J.D. from the University of Pennsylvania Law School, and her B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania.
