“We are delighted to welcome Mr. Morier to the team,” says Ms. Byles Williams. “He brings over 18 years of experience in sales and marketing strategies for global and non-U.S. equity and debt investment products, which serves to enhance our continued commitment to meet and exceed our client’s performance objectives.”
