Gillick joined Standish in 2009 to launch the firm's new Boston office and establish its East Coast presence.

"Susan's remarkable leadership has been instrumental to our growth as a firm, enabling us to expand our footprint and serve larger institutions," said Standish Founder and CEO Robert Raynard. "As my focus increasingly shifts to launching new services and growing the firm internationally, Susan is the perfect person to lead the firm's day-to-day domestic operations."

Joining the Standish team nearly a decade ago gave me the unique opportunity to build a business alongside a tremendous management team.

Today, we are proud to say that our 275 business professionals have helped turn a bootstrapped start-up into a thriving business that serves some of the largest institutional investors in the world," said Gillick.
