British insurance giant Legal & General tapped Scrimgeour earlier this year to head of its $1.24 trillion investment management arm—a gig that the Financial Times described as “one of the most powerful roles in the European asset management industry.”

An alumna of Merrill Lynch, BlackRock, and M&G Investments, Scrimgeour joined Legal & General from Columbia Threadneedle Investments, where she headed the asset management firm’s Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) operations. In addition to overseeing LGIM’s massive portfolio, Scrimgeour also helped lead her firm’s commitment to LGBT Great, an initiative aimed at increasing LGBT+ diversity in the savings and investment industry.
