During his five years as president, Fidelity’s assets under management almost doubled. While previously serving as managing director and general counsel of Fidelity Investments, he created Fidelity’s Charitable Gift Fund and launched Fidelity’s entry into the Japanese mutual fund business.

Prior to joining Fidelity, Mr. Pozen served as Associate General Counsel for the SEC, and taught law and economics at New York University.

Mr. Pozen also served on President Bush’s Commission to Strengthen Social Security in late 2001 and 2002.
