Wakefield, MA - May 15, 2012 - Heeren Pathak, Chief Technology Officer at Vestmark, a leading innovator of advisory solutions and wealth management technology, was awarded the Advisory Solutions All-Star Achiever Award by the Money Management Institute (MMI).

The All-Star Achiever Award recognizes individuals who have made the greatest contribution to an MMI committee or industry. In accordance with Vestmark's efforts towards advancing the overall fee-based advisory solutions industry, Mr. Pathak has contributed his time and talents to a broad range of MMI initiatives.

Currently Mr. Pathak is co-chair of the MASS Model Management sub-committee and co-chair of the overall MASS data standards committee.

For the overall MASS data standards committee, Mr. Pathak has provided continued leadership in identifying industry needs and launching new efforts to address these issues.

He volunteered his time for the planning committee for the MMI Technology Summit last November and will be assisting with the next Technology Summit. Mr. Pathak also worked with the MMI leadership to establish the governance framework by which the standards effort operates under today.
