Jesse Locantore

Corporate Sustainability Manager at Wellington Management, leading firm-wide environmental and social initiatives that align with evolving global regulations and industry best practices. I oversee strategic planning and execution of sustainability reporting, climate risk management, carbon accounting, and supply chain transparency—driving measurable impact across Wellington’s operational footprint and stakeholder engagement.

Previously, I served as Technology Program Manager for Sustainable Investment, where I developed and led the firm’s SI technology roadmap, coordinating cross-functional delivery across climate risk, impact investing, stewardship, and ESG research. My background also includes program, project & people management across investment technology, investment guideline monitoring, global-macro hedge fund middle-office support, and global trade operations—spanning both asset management and custodial banking.

I bring deep expertise in investment policy across a wide range of client types, and a diverse product background including fixed income, equities, derivatives, FX, and collateral management. As founding chair of the IR+M ESG Committee, I led the firm’s signatory status to the UN Principles for Responsible Investment in 2013—an early milestone in my commitment to responsible investing and sustainability leadership.
