Leary Hires a Top Voice for TIAA GAM

Rob Leary just hired a top OpFunds veteran to be the voice of his freshly-rebranded asset manager.

On Friday Leary confirmed the appointment of Marty Willis as chief marketing officer of what is now called TIAA Global Asset Management [profile]. Willis will report to Leary, CEO of TIAA GAM.

Bloomberg picked up on the news.

Willis left OppenheimerFunds [profile] (which, like TIAA, is based in New York City) earlier this year after six years as that firm's CMO. She is an alumnus of Sewanee and previously worked at MFS and Fidelity.

Willis' move comes two months after all of TIAA, including TIAA GAM, rebranded from its old "TIAA-CREF" moniker. Connie Weaver, executive vice president and CMO for TIAA itself praises Willis as "such an experienced colleague."

"We have a great story to tell, and with Marty's leadership, we will bring it to an even wider audience," Weaver states.

TIAA GAM has $861 billion in AUM.
