McCormick joins Mesirow with more than two decades of experience across public and private markets. Most recently, he served as Head of Institutional Sales – North America at Alger Management, where he led a six-member distribution team while maintaining direct coverage of institutional and consultant-channel clients. Previously, he held senior positions at Barings LLC, Janus Henderson Investors, and AllianceBernstein, L.P., in addition to earlier roles with RogersCasey.
“I’m excited to join Mesirow at such a dynamic time in the firm’s growth,” said McCormick. “Mesirow’s entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to partnership resonate deeply with me, and I look forward to helping institutional clients access the firm’s excellent investment solutions.”
