At Putnam, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are tenets of our core values. We strive to create a culture and environment that fosters belonging and authenticity across all levels and values individuals for their skills, experience, diverse backgrounds, and unique perspectives. Collectively, DEI serves as a foundational element of who we are and how we work with our clients and with each other.

I am committed to advancing Putnam’s efforts to build a culture of inclusivity, where every individual is embraced, heard, and empowered to succeed.”
