"I am thrilled to welcome our group of new board members. These individuals bring a wealth of experience and leadership in advancing long-term strategies at their own organizations," said Mark D. Wiseman, Chair of the Board of FCLTGlobal and Global Head of Active Equities and Chairman of Alternative Investors for BlackRock. "Each new board member will be a great asset to FCLTGlobal's future and to our mission to drive long-term change in capital markets."

Each has been instrumental to FCLTGlobal's success since its inception in 2016 and left an indelible impact on the organization.

"As inaugural members of the Board of Directors of FCLTGlobal, Dom, Else, and Andrew guided our team and our strategy from the outset. We are grateful for their invaluable service and thank them for their continued support as Strategic Advisors. We're excited to continue our important work together," said Sarah Keohane Williamson, FCLTGlobal's Chief Executive Officer.
