Carol W. Geremia, President – Co-Head of Global Distribution��

�鶹��Ƶ Greater Boston is thrilled to honor MFS Investment Management��and Carol W. Geremia, president and co-head of global distribution, with the annual Idealism in Action award.��

MFS Investment��Management (MFS) is a global investment manager founded in 1924, when it launched America’s first open-end mutual fund. MFS has long been recognized for��its strong culture of integrity, collaboration, and commitment to investing responsibly – an approach that is underpinned by a strong belief in long-term thinking. This is reflected both in the way MFS invests, and how it operates.�� In addition to being avid stewards of its clients’ capital, MFS is dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the communities where its employees live and work, championing corporate social responsibility through philanthropy, volunteerism, and strategic partnerships.��

MFS has been a valued �鶹��Ƶ partner for more than two decades, investing more than $7M to support our mission to advance educational opportunities for Greater Boston’s students. Thousands of MFS employees have engaged in meaningful volunteer service with �鶹��Ƶ, providing essential resources for students and teachers, and creating safe and joyful spaces for children to learn and thrive.��

Central to this impact is the extraordinary leadership of Carol Geremia, president of MFS and co-head of global distribution. Carol leads the firm’s worldwide client-facing teams as well as product and marketing strategy, and her visionary guidance has been instrumental in shaping MFS and �鶹��Ƶ’s partnership. As a trusted �鶹��Ƶ advisor and the founding chair of our Women’s Leadership Breakfast, Carol has galvanized support, inspired enthusiasm, and amplified the impact of �鶹��Ƶ Greater Boston’s work. Her leadership exemplifies the power of philanthropy and corporate engagement in creating lasting opportunities for young people and communities.��
