John Calcagni

John Calcagni is listed by The Org and Wiza as Managing Director and Head of Investment Operations at Conning, based in Hartford, Connecticut. Conning is a global investment management firm founded in 1912, focused on insurance companies and other institutional investors, with investment centers in Asia, Europe, and North America.

Calcagni’s public association with Conning dates back at least to January 2006, when Conning announced that it had won an approximately $8 billion mandate to manage assets for Citigroup insurance affiliates. In that announcement, Conning said Calcagni would head its investment accounting and reporting team, having previously held the same position at Citigroup Insurance Investments.

Conning’s public materials describe the firm as an institutional asset manager rather than an angel or seed-stage venture investor. The firm reports more than $190 billion in assets under management across Conning and affiliates and offers customized investment strategies, risk management tools, insurance research, and investment accounting/reporting services.
