Based in the US, Davis will serve on the firm’s audit committee, naming and corporate governance committee and risk committee.
Her background includes roles in both asset management and consulting as well as a number of directorships.
Davis is currently the co-founder and managing partner of Fifth Era Financial, which invests in early stage tech companies. Between 2000 and 2003 she served as CFO for BGI, now BlackRock.
