With almost 20 years of human resources experience, focused on talent acquisition and diversity, equity and inclusion, Alonso is uniquely positioned to further the firm’s diversity efforts.

In addition, Alonso oversaw Morgan Stanley’s development programs, focused on retaining and advancing diverse talent. Prior to her extensive work at Morgan Stanley, Alonso worked in recruitment for Citigroup, Bose Corporation and Praecis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., emphasizing diversity and improving recruiting strategies.

“Becoming a more diverse and inclusive firm is a strategic priority for us,” said Christine Esckilsen, chief human capital officer at Piper Sandler. “While increasing diversity, ensuring a more inclusive work environment and striving for equity is the responsibility of each and every one of us, we believe Analia brings the ideal combination of expertise and industry knowledge to further our efforts. We are thrilled she is joining the Piper Sandler team.”

Alonso earned a bachelor’s degree in communication studies with a minor in history and holds a master’s degree in organizational change management from Milano, The New School for International Affairs.
