While other mutual fund firms reeled in 2008 and 2009, Natixis [profile] didn't even institute a hiring freeze. That's one tidbit CEO John Hailer shared with Jon Chesto of the Patriot Ledger.

Hailer told the pub that he plans to add at least 42 new positions in Boston in 2012, to the 1,240 he already employs in the area. In the interview, Hailer emphasized his conservative approach and emphasis on "slow, steady growth".

"For the 'lost decade of asset management,' I want another one," Hailer reportedly said. "Because it was really good to us."
