JANA appoints investment strategy GM


Investment consultancy firm JANA has appointed Kirsten Temple, who has been with the firm for over 12 years, to the newly created role of general manager of investment strategy.
Temple would be responsible for the development of JANA’s client advice on broad investment strategy and capital markets analysis, including leading asset allocation decision making for JANA’s advisory and implemented clients.
Temple would move from her role as manager of research to the newly-created role which would report directly to JANA chief executive, Jim Lamborn.
Lamborn said he was delighted to welcome Temple, as well as Duncan Smith and Anthony Ballard who were appointed general manager of client relationship management and research, respectively.
“Together, Duncan, Kirsten and Anthony bring more than four decades of collective commitment to JANA and our clients,” said Lamborn.
“Their expertise and insight are unparalleled, and we are excited about this next chapter to recalibrate and deliver even greater returns and experiences for our clients.”
