She provides strategic advice to the firm’s senior global clients across various sectors, including capital raising and other investment-banking services for transformative companies in the technology, industrial, healthcare, and consumer markets. Educated at Harvard and Stanford universities, and an expert on China, Ulrich helps foster greater East-West collaboration while building relationships with executives of leading enterprises, private equity, and sovereign wealth funds from North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe.

Ulrich created and ran J.P.Morgan's "Hands-on China" series of expert speakers, and she hosted hundreds of corporate CEOs, industry experts, and thought leaders at seminars and meetings worldwide.[10][11] Each year she organized a China-investment summit that brought together, from forty countries, over two thousand fund managers, corporate executives, and outside experts to discuss opportunities for investing in China. Conferences run by Ulrich included keynote speeches by former officials such as Chinese Premier Zhu Rongji, U.S. President Bill Clinton, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, and U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair.[12]

As an advisor to the world’s largest asset-management companies, sovereign-wealth and pension funds, Ulrich’s views influence the allocation of trillions of dollars in assets.[13] She also serves as an advisor to Chinese institutions making investments overseas.

Print and TV media have often interviewed Ulrich for her views on China. Before returning to the U.S. to focus on investment banking, she was a frequent guest of Maria Bartiromo on CNBC's Closing Bell investor news program. She also appeared on the PBS Nightly Business Report.[2] In Asia she regularly spoke on Bloomberg Television.
