Client Focus
Seema Outarsingh
Sales and Client Service Manager
Intermediary Distribution Team
“Client focus is at the center of every conversation we have at William Blair. Our very culture is underpinned by an unwavering commitment to our clients. Our goal, on a daily basis, is to create a personalized experience for each and every client. And that begins by understanding their challenges, and their perspective and building those long-lasting client relationships with trust and mutual respect at the foundation. That sense of commitment is deeply rooted in our history, and it propels us to continue innovating for the future so that we are always ready to meet the ever-evolving needs of our clients. And so ultimately, we’re driven by a clear objective to deliver the best possible outcomes for our clients, and we work together, cohesively as a team to with that goal in mind.”
Integrity
Josh Overholt
Research Analyst
U.S. Value Equity Team
“As it became clear that we would be looking for a new partner, I personally started to put a list together. When we found out that William Blair was, in fact, one of the new potential partners, I couldn’t have been happier; it was at the top of my list. And in many ways, it’s because of the environment and culture at William Blair. It’s collegial, but at the same time performance is important, and the desire to keep a relatively flat organizational structure and the desire to really put the client first.”
Excellence
David Ricci, CFA
Partner, Portfolio Manager
U.S. Growth and Core Equity Team
“Excellence at William Blair is a way of life in how we approach a new challenge, leaving no stone unturned; in how we interact with each other, pushing each other to be our very best. Excellence is working tirelessly on behalf of our clients for the very best possible outcomes.”
Inclusivity
Yang Wang
ESG Data Specialist
IM Management and Administration Team
William Blair provides a very diverse and inclusive platform. People are all coming from very different backgrounds and have very unique and interesting experiences to share and learn from each other. But for me the most important part is about diversity and inclusion in terms of perspectives and opinions. Here, you will not be dominated by one single perspective. This is very important for me because I have learned a lot from my colleagues. And it has definitely helped me to broaden my understanding.
Collaboration
Nathalie Markovits
Business Project Manager
IM Operations Team
“Collaboration for me means building bridges—across departments, teams, communities. As a project manager and alliance co-chair, I’ve seen firsthand how progress accelerates when we remove barriers and create space for people to contribute their best. It’s about listening deeply, respecting other perspectives, and trusting each other to deliver together. At William Blair, I’ve had the privilege of working with outstanding people who don’t just support each other—they elevate one another. Whether it’s brainstorming across disciplines, or partnering with clients and communities, or mentoring across career stages, collaboration is what transforms good ideas into great outcomes.”
