Redington and PRI have recently published a private debt stewardship guide, and Froehlich's expertise is expected to be instrumental in implementing best practices in Align's private debt strategies. Froehlich is also the co-founder of Fondsfrauen, a professional network for women in finance, which further underscores her commitment to the industry.

With Froehlich's appointment, Align is well-positioned to continue its growth trajectory and expand its influence in the private debt and media finance sectors.
