Diane Alfano, former chair and CEO of Institutional Investor, has returned to the company as a senior advisor to Rip Reeves, CEO. Alfano will work closely with the global investor relations, sales, and content teams with a focus on evolving the global sales efforts and helping II meet the needs of asset managers and firms worldwide.
“Institutional Investor is committed to meeting the unique and complex needs of the asset management profession with unrivaled insight, events, and access to curated communities,” said Reeves. “Diane’s experience is perfectly suited to help meet those needs, with an eye toward building a more dynamic and diverse community. She has been an instrumental part of the success of II for nearly 40 years, and we look forward to working with Diane to make an even larger impact on the industry we serve.”
During her tenure, Diane harnessed the profound technological changes that were reshaping the media landscape and used them to transform a venerable financial print publication into a dynamic, diversified global subscription membership, conference, market intelligence, research, rankings, data, and capital placement business.
“I am thrilled to return to Institutional Investor. II’s commitment to excellence and innovation have been its hallmark for the last 56 years,” said Alfano. “I am excited to be working with Rip and the entire II team to contribute to its continued success as they embark on the next transformation. Investment professionals, clients, and investors around the world rely on II for the insights, access, content, client engagement, and experiences that help them to grow and thrive amid rapid change. I look forward to once again putting my experience to work, as we aim to support the industry with valuable opportunities for business development and growth.”
