FCS Financial Marketer of the Year

Nuveen and Tara Giuliano, Chief Marketing Officer, were named the 2025 FCS Financial Marketer of the Year (FMY). This Award recognizes innovation, creativity and impact in the financial services marketplace, and rewards the marketer and the marketing leader responsible.
