FAIRFIELD, Conn., April 9, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Foundation Source, the nation's largest provider of comprehensive support and advisory services for private foundations, today announced that Senior Managing Director Katherine Holbrook is now leading business development efforts in the New York and New England regions.

"Philanthropic families, and the advisors who serve them, appreciate Katherine's understanding of private foundations as well as the insight that she brings to our clients and partners. These same assets, along with her years of experience, will serve her well as she moves to the same part of the country that she calls 'home.'"

She also has worked for INVESCO Funds Group as well as Fidelity Investments, where she held leadership roles in Marketing and Operations in addition to her business-development role at the Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund.
