Based in London, Drew will be responsible for enhancing the firm’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) research capabilities, imbibing ESG analysis into its investment decisions, as well as developing an ESG framework across geographies and asset classes.

Drew will work with the firm’s head of corporate governance Donna Anderson and its investment teams. She will report to group CIO and co-head of global equity Rob Sharps.

Drew has an experience of 20 years in the investment sector and joins T. Rowe Price from Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM). During her nine-year tenure at GSAM, Drew served as an equity analyst, portfolio manager, and ESG specialist.
