Chandoha reports to Joseph Martinetto, senior executive vice president and chief operating officer of all of Charles Schwab.

Chandoha took over CSIM in 2010, when the brokerage giant's asset management arm had $197 billion in AUM (September 2010). CSIM's AUM has risen 84 percent since then, to $362 billion as of August 2018. Its ETF business, in particular, has boomed, jumping to the number five spot in the industry by AUM (as of October 2, 2018).

An alumna of Harvard, Chandoha previously worked at BlackRock, BGI, Wells Capital Management, Goldman Sachs, Credit Suisse, Morgan Stanley, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

De St. Paer, an alumnus of UC San Diego and the Wharton School, first joined Schwab in 2003 as vice president of investment management services before rising to lead strategy, product development, and product management for CSIM. Before Schwab, he worked at McKinsey and Bear Stearns.
