I try to be involved with the day to day, to understand what my teams are working through. This allows us to brainstorm potential enhancements that further streamline processes and controls. I’m particularly proud when a brainstormed idea comes to fruition and proves to be beneficial not only for our department but also the entire firm.

The PWM Product Pricing Support team is relatively new. We are transitioning multiple functions within this group while looking to define efficiencies and control. It is both challenging and rewarding to learn new functions and businesses that the firm supports.

The most challenging part of my job is time management. Since my roles have expanded it’s sometimes difficult to be involved with all aspects of the day to day. That’s why I rely on my team managers to keep me apprised of issues for escalation. It allows me to oversee the big picture while providing them with greater opportunities to increase their profile and exposure. This way, everyone on the team is empowered.
