The Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA) has appointed Texas Alternative Investments Association (TAIA) CEO Sarah Riley as its new US director.
Riley, who is based in Austin, will continue to serve as a TAIA board member.
AIMA says that under Riley’s leadership TAIA expanded to include all alternative investment strategies and partnerships with key industry stakeholders.
Riley brings nearly a decade of experience in both non-profit and financial services industries and has been a strategic advisor to non-profit organisations in both the UK and US, including serving as associate director of development for HTB Group in London for nearly five years until 2015.
Jack Inglis, CEO of AIMA, says: “Sarah’s appointment and AIMA’s collaboration with TAIA marks an important milestone for the continued growth of AIMA. We have the utmost respect for the important work of regional associations and look forward to further collaboration for the benefit of all market participants.”
Thomas Trujillo, chair of the TAIA board of directors and audit partner with KPMG, adds: “I am delighted that Sarah will continue serving TAIA as a member of the board of directors.
“She will continue her leadership of local programs and key priorities for our Texas members. We look forward to working with AIMA globally to highlight Texas’ important role as a center of investment excellence and innovation.”
