In this new role, Carter will provide clients and prospects with a broadened view of the industry, helping them navigate the evolving landscape of the asset management industry and work with them to achieve their business objectives.

Laura K. Pollock, Founding Partner of Third Street Partners, said, "Carter’s extensive experience across wealth, institutional and international markets coupled with his deep understanding of distribution, marketing, and product development provide an additional strategic lens to our clients and candidates. We are thrilled to incorporate Carter’s perspective into these conversations we’re having with asset managers who are looking for new and interesting ways to build their businesses through talent.”
