Shundrawn Thomas, President of Northern Trust Asset Management,
where he oversees the $900 billion organization. Shundrawn joined
Northern Trust Corporation in 2004 and rose to the leadership team
in 2008. Over the last 8 years, he has hired and promoted much of
Northern Trust Asset Management’s executive team, whose fifteen
members include nine women and minorities.
Shundrawn is deeply involved in diversity efforts across the
industry and was named one of this year’s Most Influential Black
Executives in Corporate America and previously one of the Most
Powerful Blacks on Wall Street.
Our conversation covers Shundrawn’s early career and issues of
race, the culture that drew him into to Northern Trust, and
examples of unconscious bias. We turns to his values-based
methodology to foster change across recruiting, mentorship,
promotion, leadership and performance at Northern Trust, and we
close with his perception of how the renewed interest in diversity
provides an opportunity for businesses to take action.
