Her new job sees her taking on a senior strategy position at the sovereign wealth fund after a long career at the investment bank.
After 17 years with the company, Owi Ruvivar, managing director of emerging market fixed income at Goldman Sachs Asset Management (GSAM), has joined Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC as senior vice president, «efinancialcareers» reported on Friday.
The recruitment portal notes that the organization is «famously selective» in its recruitment, and has a long history of poaching high-flyers from the banking sector to fill its ranks.
In her role at GIC, which began in September, Ruvivar oversees long-term macroeconomic strategy, according to her LinkedIn profile.

Trained as an economist, Ruvivar's banking career began in the U.S. at BNP Paribas, where she spent almost five years as the bank's global head of emerging markets trade strategy. She then spent eight years at GSAM in New York as a senior portfolio manager, handling over $10 billion in dedicated emerging market assets and was responsible for the business development of the sector.
She moved to Singapore in 2010, where she was one of three original founding members of the firm's emerging market debt franchise. She was promoted to managing director in 2011 and led a 10-member team dedicated to investing, trading and managing GSAM's Asia exposures across its fixed income portfolios. She left the firm in June this year.
