Michelle Dunstan has been appointed Global Head of Responsible Investing and Sharon Fay will assume the role of Chief Responsibility Officer. The appointments of these established senior investors further demonstrate AB's commitment to building the firm's capabilities in this important area and will help to drive our responsible investing efforts forward.

As Global Head of Responsible Investing, Michelle will partner with Sharon overseeing AB's responsible investing strategy, which includes driving the firm's research and stewardship activities, helping to further integrate responsible investing into investment decisions and working to embed that ethos into the overall culture of the firm.
