One 44 Advisory

One 44 advisory

Team

James Hasso

Founder and CEO

Jim spent two decades deciding which small and mid-cap companies were worth backing. He started One 44 to give those companies the view he had of them, and to help align their growth, operating stability and stock-return goals.

Background

Analyst, portfolio manager, corporate advisor and policy contributor. The range is the point: it’s what lets him tell a management team how their business actually reads from the outside.

At Voya Financial

Before founding One 44, Jim was Managing Director and Head of US Small Cap Equities for Voya Financial, formerly ING. In that role he analysed thousands of companies across every major GICS industry, while building and maintaining relationships with a client base of global investors.

He adapted continually to a shifting landscape, developing depth in areas including digital currency, blockchain, and GSE governance, social and environmental practices.

Advisory and leadership

As a Voya leader, Jim acted in a range of advisory capacities. He was an influential voice to Voya’s US CEO and operational leaders through periods of strategic change, notably during ING’s IPO to become Voya. During the Financial Crisis he represented ING’s US Division on the firm’s Global Strategy Committee.

Externally, he has served as a government advisor on a range of matters, engaging with the Federal Reserve, US Treasury, FDIC, OCC, CFPB and the White House to provide insight on financial reform. He also serves on the FTSE Russell Americas Regional Equity Advisory Committee.

Speaking

BA, Economics — Lehman College · MBA, Finance — Fordham University

Community

A first-generation American who cares deeply about supporting families and children in need, Jim is a board member of The New York Foundling and Chair of its Investment Committee. He is a former member of the Soles4Souls Advisory Council and the Americares National Leadership Council.

Education

Jim holds a BA in Economics from Lehman College and an MBA from Fordham University, where he later served as an adjunct professor for the Gabelli School of Business.
