Hirtle Callaghan Announces 2016 Investment Leadership Award Recipient: Gloria D. Reeg

"We are thrilled to recognize Gloria and her exceptional career.  She helped pioneer the investment consulting industry and personally established its highest standards of professional conduct.  More recently, Gloria made the unusual transition from renowned consultant to highly successful Chief Investment Officer. Gloria's intellectual rigor, persistence, integrity and high standards of conduct serve as an example for all investment professionals entrusted with client assets and we are excited to present her with the 2016 Award for Investment Leadership," said Jonathan Hirtle, Chief Executive Officer of Hirtle Callaghan.

In 2007, Gloria became NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital's first Chief Investment Officer. During her tenure, which encompassed the financial crisis – one of the most tumultuous periods in investment history – NewYork-Presbyterian's investment assets grew to $7 billion.  Prior to NewYork-Presbyterian, Gloria worked as Head of Fixed Income for Principal Global Investor where she supervised an $80 billion Fixed Income portfolio. Before that, she was a Managing Director of Global Consulting for the Russell Investment Group where she was responsible for serving clients around the world with assets totaling over $1 trillion.

Gloria began her consulting career in 1975, a year after the establishment of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA). She received a Bachelor of Science degree in Mathematics from the University of Wisconsin and her MBA from the Kellogg School at Northwestern University.
