“In the nearly 20 years since Paul founded the MASS team, it has grown to over $31 billion in assets. In addition, Paul has served as a mentor to many of our employees and has been instrumental in the creation and evolution of Voya IM’s award-winning culture. I know our MASS team will build upon the success and client-centric commitment to delivering results that was started by Paul,” added Toms.
