She served as a senior portfolio manager for the firm's Global Wealth channel as well as co-head of the Global High Yield Group.
"I am thrilled to have an executive of Vicki's caliber lead our team of investment professionals," DiNapoli said in a statement. "Her 30 years of investment experience will be extremely beneficial in these volatile economic times."
