Ex-Putnam CRO Martens joins TIAA-CREF
Based in New York, Martens will report directly to Allison. A spokesman told RiskNews that Martens “will be working closely with the chairman to provide state-of-the-art [market, credit and operational] risk management". According to TIAA-CREF, Martens, who will officially begin in his new role in June, plans to build a “small and compact” risk team, though it declined to specify its ultimate size, or the identities and timing of additional hires.
Martens reported to chief financial officer Irene Espebes while at Putnam. A Putnam spokeswoman told RiskNews that Espebes will also assume chief risk officer duties until a new head of risk is named.
During Martens’ time at Boston-based asset manager Putnam Investments, the asset manager won Risk’s 2000 asset management risk manager of the year award. Martens previously held senior risk management positions at Lehman Brothers and Credit Suisse.
