Based in Cincinnati, Ohio, Scott will also be instrumental in expanding NEPC’s presence in the Southeast and Midwest of the United States.

“NEPC’s client-centric model, research-driven approach, and deep expertise in impact investing were immediately appealing to me,” said Harsh. “I’m glad to be joining a firm with such a strong reputation for delivering customized, forward-thinking solutions to their endowments and foundations clients. Balancing short-term spending needs with long-term investment decisions is more complex than ever, and I look forward to working with the team to help our clients achieve this balance.”
