Business Career
A senior investment management role at Chase Manhattan, running the Bank's international equity department in London, was followed by directorships at Rothschild International Asset Management and NatWest. Her work included advising on strategy for UK pension funds and funds established under the US ERISA rules, plus advice to central banks. A full-time job gave her insufficient time with her young family so in 1993 she became an independent investment consultant with clients including 3i group, BT, HM Treasury, Standard Life, the BBC, Sky and Channel 4.
In July 2004 Altmann was appointed by Lord Falconer, Secretary of State for Constitutional Affairs, to the Strategic Investment Board for a three-year term. The announcement cited Altmann's work on the Myners' review and her then current job as non-executive policy adviser to the Policy Unit at 10 Downing Street on investment, pensions, savings and annuity policies".

Famous quotes containing the words business and/or career:
“One of the necessary qualifications of an efficient business man in these days of industrial literature seems to be the ability to write, in clear and idiomatic English, a 1,000-word story on how efficient he is and how he got that way.... It seems that the entire business world were devoting its working hours to the creation of a school of introspective literature.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“Like the old soldier of the ballad, I now close my military career and just fade away, an old soldier who tried to do his duty as God gave him the light to see that duty. Goodbye.”
—Douglas MacArthur (1880–1964)
