Paul Lee is a former editor and managing editor of International Financial Law Review. He joined the governance team at Hermes nearly four years ago, and now divides his time between the core index tracking portfolios and the two Hermes Focus Funds in the UK. His role in each case is the same, involving board-level discussions with companies about which Hermes has concerns, and encouraging change in order to preserve and enhance long-term shareholder value. He continues to write, including a case study chapter for the latest edition of Exploring Corporate Strategy. He won the PricewaterhouseCoopers European Shareholder Value Award 2001 for his article 'Not badly paid but paid badly'.
