Prof Quigley is from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, and holds an AB in English literature from Harvard College, an MSc in Nature, Society, and Environmental Policy from the University of Oxford, and a PhD in economics education from the University of Cambridge.
From 2019 to 2025, she served as Special Adviser (Responsible Investment) to the Chief Financial Officer of the University of Cambridge. In this role, she authored the University's peer-reviewed report on the advantages and disadvantages of divestment from fossil fuels. This capped off years of research and debate by students and staff, culminating in the University's historic decision to divest its £3.5 billion endowment fund from all direct and indirect investments in fossil fuels by 2030.
Prof Quigley's research has helped advance and operationalise the concept of universal ownership – the idea that diversified asset owners cannot insulate themselves from climate change, biodiversity loss, or geopolitical instability, and therefore have both the power and fiduciary duty to act on these systemic threats. Her widely-deployed framework, "Universal Ownership in Practice" – which received the GRASFI Paper Prize for Potential Impact on Sustainable Finance Practices – provides a practical guide for asset owners to deliver real-world outcomes in service of a stable long-term financial system. A forthcoming book building on this work will be published in 2026 by Cambridge University Press as part of its Elements in Corporate Governance series.

Forbes calls long-time institutional investor Jon Lukomnik one of the pioneers of modern corporate governance. Jon's most recent book, "Moving Beyond Modern Portfolio Theory: Investing That Matters", co-authored with Professor Jim Hawley, is widely praised as the "seminal" work on system-level investing.
