- 10 - USA Awards 2024 - CEO TODAY - partnership with global professional athlete and philanthropist, Giannis Antetokounmpo. 2024 is off to an exciting start with two recently launched ETF products that draw upon the heritage and expertise of our firm, with several more in the pipeline for the year. For our wealth management business, we’ve sharpened our planning capabilities and have made strategic hires to lead the wealth management business. This includes a new Head of Wealth Management, a Chief Investment Officer, and a Chief Wealth Strategist to elevate the way we manage our clients’ investment portfolios and service our clients. My vision remains unwavering — lead the charge in innovation, deliver excellence to our clients and make Calamos the premier alternative management brand. How would you describe your leadership approach? After 35+ years of experience in financial services and executive leadership roles, what advice would you give to someone starting a managing role? Throughout my 35+ years of experience in financial services and executive leadership roles, my leadership approach blends a mindset of innovation and resilience. Leading with a mindset of innovation means the ability to manage uncertainty and actively invest both time and resources to understand factors of disruption, and to seize on opportunities that come with constant change. It is critical to be able to pivot and invest in your enterprise even when compelling arguments advise otherwise. As for advice to new managers, build strong relationships with your team members. Understanding their strengths and aspirations helps to build a strong and complementary leadership team. Celebrating wins is important because no achievement is too small, and small achievements add to profound change. Acknowledging milestones and recognizing individual and team contributions serve as great catalysts for a superior work environment and a strong organization. Leadership isn’t just about managing—it’s about inspiring and motivating those around you. As a leader, you have the power to create a ripple effect that extends far beyond the confines of your role.
