Boston, MA – FCLTGlobal, a non-profit organization whose mission is to mobilize companies and investors to focus capital on the long term, today announced that Sarah Keohane Williamson, its founding Chief Executive Officer, will retire from the organization. Williamson shared the news at FCLT Summit 2026, the annual gathering of the organization’s members.

Williamson has led FCLTGlobal since its founding in 2016. Under her leadership, FCLTGlobal produced an extensive body of research, built a global membership of companies and institutional investors, and convened senior leaders from across the investment value chain in pursuit of more long-term-oriented capital markets.

“It has been a privilege to help build FCLTGlobal from the ground up and to work alongside the many leaders and partners who share a genuine belief that markets can and should support long-term value creation for savers,” said Williamson. “The organization is in an excellent position to continue this important work, and I am confident in the talented team and dedicated board who will carry it forward.”

FCLTGlobal’s Board of Directors is conducting a search to identify the organization’s next Chief Executive Officer. Williamson will remain in her role through the transition to ensure continuity of leadership.
