2017 - Jun 2019
Transformed a trillion-dollar asset manager built by acquisition from seven brands to one. After leading the external consulting engagement resulting in the definition of Invesco's corporate purpose, I was asked by the CEO to join the executive team to develop the strategy for organic growth. I united the Americas, EMEA and APAC businesses in a shared global marketing strategy, positioning the firm for customer-led growth ahead of the market.
