Kate El-Hillow — President and CIO, Russell Investments

Episode 3: A Mix of Grace and Grit

Running portfolios in the face of extreme volatility, taking a leap of faith on a job in Tokyo and racking up miles on red-eye flights isn’t for the faint of heart. But Russell Investments CIO Kate El-Hillow makes it look easy.

Unflappable yet unassuming, Kate challenges her investment team to step out of their comfort zone to embrace new perspectives—and even take on new roles. And she's not afraid to run with the bulls in Pamplona!

Get to know Kate and hear her take on the integration of public and private markets.
