He serves on the Board of Managers at Redwood Investments, Sapience Investments, and Snowden Lane Partners.
Mr. Mendez formerly served on the Board of Managers at Sustainable Growth Advisers prior to its sale to Virtus Investment Partners.
Prior to co-founding Estancia in 2010, Mr. Mendez demonstrated a successful 20-year track record of building highly respected Asset Management companies.
As President of NWQ Investment Management Company, he was the key architect transforming NWQ from a single-product organization with $6 billion in assets under management into two highly respected, institutional-quality, multi-product investment platforms managing in excess of $65 billion.
One of the key strategic decisions in which he contributed was to separate the international and global equity strategies into a separate and distinct brand, Tradewinds Global Investors, signifying the importance and commitment to this developing business and consequently increasing the strategy’s attractiveness to institutional investors.
