As CIO for the Americas and Global Head of Equities at UBS Wealth Management, overseeing $7.3 trillion in assets under management, she brings to the role what few can: a PhD in financial econometrics, two and a half decades at Tudor Investment Corp building quant macro and global equity portfolios, and an almost academic obsession with technology-driven disruption.
