Profile
Ms. Sonia L.
Kowal is a President at Zevin Asset Management LLC.
She brings over two decades of investment experience to managing corporate matters, business practices, and strategic planning.
She also oversees marketing, advisor, and client relationships.
She is a member of the firm’s Board of Managers and the Investment Committee.
She is passionate about the value of integrating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues into investments and is a frequent speaker on the topic at conferences.
She feels particularly strongly about racial equity, wealth inequality, and our disastrous criminal justice system.
Ms. Kowal started her career in Scotland as a traditional equity analyst and portfolio manager, specializing in emerging markets, for a very large institutional asset manager.
Increasingly disillusioned by the greed in the industry, she decided to align her professional life to her personal interests and values after taking 18 months to travel, volunteer, and work in Asia and the Antipodes.
She holds a BS in Zoology from the University of Edinburgh and an MS in Investment Analysis from the University of Stirling, Scotland.
