SAN FRANCISCO, March 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Callan, a leading institutional investment consulting firm, announced today that Greg DeForrest, CFA, has been promoted to executive vice president and head of Fund Sponsor Consulting, effective April 1, 2023. He takes over the role from Millie Viqueira who is retiring after more than three decades at Callan. Mr. DeForrest, who also manages the West Coast consulting team, will report to CEO & Chief Research Officer Greg Allen.

“Greg’s breadth of knowledge, calm demeanor, and depth of industry experience make him perfect for this role,” said Mr. Allen. “He has made significant contributions at Callan, and I can’t wait to see what he will accomplish next.”
During his 25-year career at Callan, Mr. DeForrest has held a number of positions across the firm. He started in Client Report Services in 1998, then joined the Global Manager Research team in 2001, which he went on to manage in 2007. In 2009, he joined the West Coast consulting team as an investment consultant and became the group’s manager in 2014. He will continue to manage this team in his new role, as well as remain co-chair of Callan’s Manager Search Committee and a member of the firm’s Management Committee and Institute Advisory Committee.
Mr. DeForrest received a BA from Villanova University, is a holder of the right to use the Chartered Financial Analyst® designation, is a member of CFA Institute and CFA Society San Francisco, and is a shareholder of the firm.
“I would like to congratulate Millie on her successful career at Callan,” said Mr. DeForrest. “I look forward to continuing Callan’s 50-year history of partnering with clients to achieve their goals.”
Ms. Viqueira, who joined Callan in 1991, took on the position of head of Fund Sponsor Consulting in 2018. Prior to that she managed Callan’s New Jersey consulting office, co-chaired Callan’s Manager Search Committee, and served as lead consultant for many of Callan’s largest clients in the Northeast.
“I can’t say enough about the difference Millie has made in her long career at Callan,” said Mr. Allen. “Her contributions to the success of our firm and our clients are legion, and she has been a great friend to many of us, providing candid advice, keen insight, and sincere encouragement. She will be greatly missed.”
