Gould Team Anniversaries, and John Heitkemper Joins the Team

Please join me in congratulating Partner and Senior Portfolio Manager Scott Smith on reaching the 20-year mark at Gould Asset Management! Joining Scott in tenure milestones are Senior Portfolio Manager Derek Baldwin (10 years), Client Service Associate Jennella Johnson (5 years), and Accounting/Finance associate Suzi Oliver (5 years). In a world where no one seems to stay anywhere for long, the stability of our team is key to making Gould a special place for both our team and our clients.

We are very pleased to announce that John Heitkemper will be joining the Gould team later this month as a Senior Portfolio Manager. John brings to Gould more than 20 years of professional investment experience, having worked with leading firms in managing institutional bond portfolios. John holds a BA in Economics from Pomona College and an MBA in Finance and Economics from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business, and becomes the fourth member of the Gould portfolio team to hold the Chartered Financial Analyst designation. John will enhance Gould’s expertise across markets and also play a growing role in client relationship management. John and his wife, Jo Hardin, and their two children are longtime Claremont residents. Please join us in welcoming John!
