Meet our leaders
July 27, 2022
The health of a company’s culture has a significant impact on its outcomes. Vanguard Chief Human Resources Officer Lauren Valente shares more about our culture and its alignment with our clients’ interests.
Producer: So how’s it going?
Lauren Valente: Very good. How’s everybody doing? I’ll try and you just coach me (laughs). Ok.
Question [on screen]: How would you describe the culture at Vanguard?
Lauren Valente: The core to our culture at Vanguard is a simple phrase: Do the right thing. It starts with our clients. Putting their interest at the center of all that we do.
And then it also extends to how we treat each other, our fellow crew, working collaboratively and candidly.
And then a big part of our culture is our generous spirit of giving back. We lend our time, talent, and treasure to the communities in which we work around the globe. Every crew member has a responsibility to do the right thing, and every crew member can make a difference.
Notes: Vanguard is investor-owned, meaning the fund shareholders own the funds, which in turn own Vanguard.
