Principal Global Investors is a diversified global asset management firm and a member of the Principal Financial Group®. Our investment capabilities encompass a range of equity, fixed income and real estate investments, as well as specialized expertise in currency management, asset allocation, stable value management and other structured investment strategies. As part of the IT Management team, I lead the application development areas that support the investment boutiques Front Office capabilities. Front Office solutions are a combination of purchased solutions (e.g. Charles River, Bloomberg, Factset), custom built solutions for research, and customized solutions created in partnerships with external and internal resources. PGI IT assists with hosting, working on custom builds, and working with boutiques to achieve scale with vendors. Prior to joining Principal’s Global Investment business unit, I served in other IT leadership roles within Principal Financial Group in the Retirement Services area, and the central infrastructure area of the company. I’ve led application development teams leveraging Java and COBOL to support applications for 401(k) participants and administrators, and have led the shared infrastructure teams supporting our J2EE WebSphere application serving environment and our Web Infrastructure team.
