One of the most prominent women in finance is about to work for George Soros.
Dawn Fitzpatrick, who is a senior executive for the asset-management arm of UBS, has accepted a job at the Soros Management Fund, the New York Times reports. Fitzpatrick will replace Ted Burdick, the company’s most recent chief investment officer (CIO), who stepped down after a few months on the job. She will run the family office’s investment portfolio, which “still operates like a big hedge fund,” according to Forbes. Her start date is not yet clear.
Fitzpatrick began her career in the early 1990s with O’Connor & Associates as a clerk on the American Stock Exchange. By 2013, according to the Times, she was leading UBS O’Connor’s hedge fund business, and in 2016 she headed a new unit that combined the hedge fund business with other investment platforms. While at UBS, Fitzpatrick oversaw more than 500 billion Swiss francs across investment teams, Business Insider reports.
