Emily Meyer: Senior Relationship Manager, Asset Management

 

Describe your role at Northern Trust

I work with banks, trust companies and other key intermediary firms across the United States, representing Northern Trust Asset Management’s investment capabilities.

My role involves positioning our solutions with key external partners, identifying mutual opportunities for growth, and managing long-term client relationships.

At the firms I cover, I typically work with 3rd party manager research teams, Chief Investment Officers, product managers and operational due diligence teams.

 

Describe your team

The Strategic Accounts team reflects a wide range of backgrounds and geographically, we are in four States in the US - two in Illinois, one in New York, one in Michigan and one in Rhode Island. This range of perspectives allows us to approach challenges from multiple angles, better understand the needs of our clients across regions, and bring fresh thinking to our partnerships.

We also work with different types of clients. Some team members cover large broker-dealers, aka “wirehouse” firms, while others cover platforms such as large RIA custodians, “TAMPS” (Turnkey-Asset-Management-Providers), and Registered Investment Advisor RIA aggregators.

 

Take us through how you ended up at Northern?

I found myself at a turning point in my career when the firm I was with began winding down its assets through bankruptcy. It had been a tumultuous two years, and while I wasn’t entirely sure what I wanted next, I knew stability would be a key priority.

So, when a recruiter reached out about an opportunity at Northern Trust Asset Management to cover bank and trust company relationships nationwide, I was genuinely excited – even though I wasn’t actively looking for a role at the time. Given my prior experience working with similar clients and Northern’s strong reputation in this space, it felt like a natural and compelling fit.

I started in the Operations area and was able to experience many operational roles to learn more about the different aspects of the Northern Trust business and about 8 years later I landed in project management. I spent the next 10 years in project management and worked on many important initiatives and more recently the Global Product space.
