Trillium Asset Management Hires Patsky As CEO
"Socially responsible" investment firm Trillium Asset Management has hired Matthew Patsky as its new chief executive officer; he starts October 26. Trillium focuses its investments on the "three prongs of sustainability (environment, equity, and economy), represented by the tri-petaled trillium flower," according to its website.
Patsky began his career at Lehman Brothers in 1984 as a technology analyst. In 1989, while covering emerging growth companies for Lehman, Patsky began to incorporate environmental, social and governance factors into his research, becoming the first sell side analyst in the United States to publish on the topic of socially responsible investing in 1994.
As director of equity research for Adams, Harkness & Hill, Patsky built that firm's research capabilities in socially and environmentally responsible areas such as renewable energy, resource optimization, and organic and natural products. He was most recently at Winslow Management Company in Boston, where he served as director of research, chairman of the investment committee and portfolio manager for the Green Solutions Strategy and the Winslow Green Solutions Fund.
