"Why Yale SOM? SOM attracted students with deeper and broader experience than other top MBA programs. I thought this would bring a wider range of perspectives to the classroom. The fact that SOM was dynamic and evolving was also important as I believed this would give the community on campus the opportunity to make a lasting imprint on the place. Finally, SOM offered the ability to tap into the broader University, which promised latitude to explore ideas and issues from a variety of vantage points. I was not disappointed."

Peggy is the global head of Equity Product Management for Wellington, an investment management organization with client assets under management of $663 billion. Wellington's unique investment model – which marries transparency, collaboration, and open, informed debate with individual ownership and accountability – has created well over one hundred distinctive equity approaches to help clients meet their investment objectives. Peggy's team supports these products in multiple ways, including conducting analysis to inform the investment process and to ensure investment integrity; interacting with clients, prospects and consultants; and developing new investment strategies to help meet the evolving needs of our clients.
 
Peggy joined Wellington with nearly two decades of investment related experience, which started soon after she graduated from SOM. At JP Morgan she gained experience across a range of posts with various units of the bank, including managing a risk arbitrage portfolio for JP Morgan Ventures and investing for institutional clients at JP Morgan Investment Management. She later moved to MFS, a very successful mutual fund company that was, at that time, just launching an institutional investment management business.
