Sound Point Capital Management, a leading credit-focused investment manager with more than $30 billion in assets, hired Andrea Sayago as its new Chief Compliance Officer and Associate General Counsel.

Ms. Sayago joins Sound Point from Cowen Investment Management, where she worked for the past 17 years, and, since 2011, served in the role of Chief Compliance Officer. At Cowen, she managed and administered a compliance program covering a broad range of public market and private investment strategies across six affiliated registered investment advisors.

In her new role, she will lead Sound Point’s compliance team in its ongoing efforts to ensure that the firm maintains its robust compliance culture supported by best-in-class systems and procedures.

“I’m thrilled to have joined Sound Point and its growing constellation of funds and strategies,” Sayago commented. “The firm’s growth trajectory and the impressive caliber of its 160 employees made it too compelling of an opportunity to pass up.”

“Andrea brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our organization,” said Stephen Ketchum, Sound Point’s Founder and Managing Partner. “We look forward to her contributions in this crucial area as she will play a key role in taking us to the next level.”

“Andrea’s technical knowledge and the breadth of her compliance experience will fit nicely into our larger program and her arrival is another significant win for us,” stated Wendy Ruberti, Sound Point’s General Counsel.

Ms. Sayago earned her bachelor’s degree from University of Vermont and her J.D. from New York Law School. She began her career at the law firm of Debevoise & Plimpton.
