Prior to the formation of Colchester Partners, she was a Corporate Development

lawyers, and management of buyers and sellers.
UAM was a NYSE company and one of the largest independent investment management
organizations in the world with over $200 billion in assets under management.
UAM provided diverse investment management services to institutions, mutual
funds and high net worth investors through the more than 45 operating affiliates
it acquired or established in the United States, Canada, Europe and Japan.
From 1997 through to the acquisition of UAM by Old Mutual, Ms. Blundell held a
variety of positions within the Finance Group at UAM. Most recently she held the
position of Manager of Financial Analysis. In this role she had direct
responsibility for the preparation of financial models and analysis of affiliate
level financial information, key operating data and other business indicators.
Other activities included working closely with senior management of subsidiaries
to provide oversight related to business management and marketing, product
development and client and key employee retention.
Prior to joining UAM, Ms. Blundell was an officer of State Street Corporation,
where she held a variety of positions from 1990 to 1997. For the last four of
those years, Ms. Blundell worked in the Analytics department, where she
specialized in analyzing alternative investment portfolio performance for
institutional clients, including venture capital, corporate finance and real
estate, in addition to traditional asset class portfolios.
Ms. Blundell received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics from Ohio
