St. Petersburg, FL – Carillon Tower Advisers (“Carillon”), a global, multi-boutique asset management firm, today announced that it has promoted Joy Facos to Head of Sustainable Investing and Corporate Responsibility. In this role, Ms. Facos will oversee the firm’s ongoing efforts to integrate ESG principles and corporate engagement to meet the needs of clients.
