testimonials
I wanted to say it’s been a real pleasure to working with you. As I re-iterated in person, I have found your team to be the best organised, most proactive and most impactful of all the ETF broker businesses on the Street (12 June 2015).
I would like to make you aware of the stellar job done by Karin on the Swiss Pension fund transition project. This transaction is very relevant to the Swiss Fixed Income Franchise and Karin should take plenty of the credit. Karin lead the project from the RFP days to this week when we did the last trades. I have been impressed on how she dealt with the client, managed different trading teams across divisions and thought out of the box when faced with issues. A great example of FID and IED working together (October 2013).
Thank you for all your hard work and your positive can do attitude throughout the transition process. It was a pleasure working with you. You are a great asset to Morgan Stanley (January 2013).
Karin, great job on the teach-in event as well as your overall coverage of iShares ( 24 June 2015)
