Greenwich Associates has announced the expansion of its financial services consulting practice with the hiring of Patrick Mc Nelis.
Mc Nelis joins Greenwich Associates as a Managing Director in the firm’s strategic consulting group and investment management practice.
Mc Nelis joins Greenwich Associates from Pyramis Global Advisors, an institutional asset management subsidiary of Fidelity Investments. As Head of Global Distribution and Client Service he was responsible for sales, consultant relations and client service professionals in multiple US and foreign locations. Mc Nelis’ teams generated the organization’s best ever sales results in 2008 and 2009, notwithstanding the challenges presented by the period’s difficult capital market environment. He also implemented best-in-class strategies for distribution, client service, consultant relations, marketing, and product development as well as established the company’s first globally integrated business by building up sales and client service capabilities in London and Hong Kong.
Prior to joining Pyramis, Mc Nelis had similar roles at Principal Global Investors and Citigroup Asset Management, where he managed sales and client services organizations (both institutional and retail) in the US and abroad.
