Bell chimes with Nuveen’s offer

William Bell, a director in US-based financial services company TIAA’s corporate development department, joined its investment services subsidiary Nuveen as a managing director in August this year.

TIAA acquired Nuveen as its investment management arm for an enterprise value of $6.25bn in October 2014.

Bell joined TIAA in 2012 and initiated its corporate venture capital investments, focusing on the fintech sector.

TIAA also participated in large-sized deals during Bell’s time there, backing a $200m round for US-based advanced glass maker View and a $141m fund for microfinance non-profit organisation Accion, both in 2017.

Bell was unavailable for comment.
