Donna Marie Howe

UBS Hedge Fund Risk Management

Donna joined UBS just a year ago as the Head of Hedge Fund Risk Management for Fixed Income. Her prior role was at Angelo, Gordon & Co. (a $12 billion AUM multi-strategy hedge fund) as their Chief Risk Officer (CRO). She joined them in 2002, and initiated more formal risk practices in credit, market, and operational risks. Previously she was at ABN-Amro’s Clearing and Execution Services division as their CRO, monitoring hedge fund (and other) clients. So she has seen both sides of the coin.

She did strategic analysis and proprietary trading at Chase Manhattan Bank for almost 7 years and was a buy-side portfolio manager with One Federal Asset Management in Boston.
