Meet Marisol

I was born in Colombia, in a small village called Libano. I come from a farming background, my parents were potato and dairy farmers, and this is where my interest in responsible investment started. I moved to London 20 years ago to study English and to pursue my career dreams.

I have an MSc in Financial Engineering, a BSc in Industrial Engineering, and I completed an AI programme at the University of Oxford.

My current role at Quilter allows me to combine my passion for responsible investment with my experience. I continue to learn, and I’m very interested in developing my skills and knowledge in the intersection between responsible investment and AI.

God – I have a strong faith and values. My parents, they taught me values of:

• integrity
• honesty
• respect
• perseverance
• dedication
• discipline
• commitment
• compassion and kindness towards others.

Make your dreams a reality, don’t worry about the how. It will all work out if you trust yourself.

• Setbacks are character building block.
• Make your weakness your strengths.
• Fear is the opposite of faith.
• Your family is a priority.
• Make sure you enjoy the ride, particularly when things are not going in the way you want.
• Don’t be afraid to the unknown
• Always leave a good memory in every person you work with, if it doesn’t happen, at least you tried.

We share similar values. There was potential for me to grow, as well as the business. I had an immediate rapport with my line manager.
