NEPC’s Partner & Head of Endowments and Foundations, Krissy Pelletier, has been named to Pensions & Investments’ 2024 Influential Women in Institutional Investing list. View excerpts from her interview below or the full interview on the Pensions & Investments site here.
From a young age, Krissy Pelletier has spent time volunteering with schools and nonprofit organizations. Her love for the work taught her to build strong relationships by listening to people’s stories and interests, and getting them “to pull that passion” into the job.
. . .
Shifting to work in the nonprofit sector, Pelletier took on seemingly every role including writing grants and planning events. “It was a great experience, but I knew after about a year that I wanted to get back into using my investment acumen,” Pelletier said.
. . .
While her external work is limited until her daughter is “a little bit older,” Pelletier goes back to Simmons’ economics department for an annual event that supports graduating students and recent alumni.
“When I graduated, I didn’t even know what investment consulting was,” she added. “I didn’t really understand the investment industry beyond the mechanics of the classes I’ve been to. Going there and chatting about career paths, it’s really rewarding.”
