Margo Alexander (2009)

Margo Alexander is the Chairman of the Acumen Fund, which is a non-profit organization that uses a venture capital model to promote sustainable change to improve the lives of the poor. It is officially supported by many organizations, including the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Google.org, and The Rockefeller Foundation. Prior to joining the board at the Acumen Fund, she enjoyed an illustrious career as the former Chairman of UBS AG Global Asset Management and a former senior executive at Paine Webber.

Margo holds a BS from the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley and an MBA from the Harvard Business School. Upon her graduation from Harvard Business School, as one of only 24 women in her class of 800, Alexander initially struggled to find a job in an industry that was typically reluctant to hire women at the time - Wall Street. Beginning as a securities analyst with Paine Webber, she enjoyed a long and decorated career that was marked by both national and international assignments. In addition, she began to build a long list of "firsts" including, the first woman to head a major research department, the first woman to oversee a trading floor, and one of the first females to head a large asset management company.
