Mirova Restructures Executive Leadership for Global Expansion
Paris-based sustainable investment manager Mirova has unveiled a revamped executive committee to anchor its drive toward becoming a global leader in sustainable finance. The leadership overhaul, effective following the firm's recent merger with Thematics Asset Management, marks a pivot toward scaling its integrated listed and private asset platforms.
