Lady Christina Ananto-McKinley, second cousin to Empress tapped to take House Ananto into the next few decades

28 year old business and finance analyst and second cousin to the Empress Lady Christina Ananto-McKinley has been named to the top spot at House Ananto. Ananto-McKinley works for KRTVN Channel 1, where she analyzes business and finance for the daily business program called "Your Money Today." She also appears infrequently as an expert pundit. Ananto-McKinley has her Masters of Business Administration degree from the University of Suldanor and a Bachelors' degree in public finance and accounting and one in public relations. She has worked for KRTVN for two years.

"KRTVN is a great job," said Lady Ananto-McKinley last month, "but, you know, if Her Imperial Majesty taps you for this sort of work, family comes first." As part of her new post, Lady Ananto-McKinley will essentially be the day to day managers of the entire royal House, including all pensions and benefits for the Royal Family, all business and investments that House Ananto is involved with, as public relations for House Ananto and the Royal Family, and managing the marriages and titles of all members. "I'd essentially be the Empress' business manager," said Lady Ananto-McKinley.

More importantly, the Director of House Ananto serves as CEO of Miramar Holdings, the publicly traded Royal Investment firm. Miramar is a several hundred billion dollar investment corporation that is deeply leveraged with State industry in Kalistan, and has major holdings in Much of the private sector in both Kalistan and Gaduridos. "Miramar represents a significant institutional investor in the Anantonese Empire," said Lady Ananto-McKinley, "and so it predictably operates very conservatively, to ensure a smaller ROI in exchange for a heavily stabilizing effect on markets. Miramar investments tend to encourage others to follow suit, making them a major influence in both the financial markets and individual investment nationwide. As a company that is worth hundreds of billions of Imperial Rubles itself, just in terms of its assets, it is a direct input by the Empress into the economy and most certainly does prefer conservative institutional players with excellent corporate governance and strong protections for workers rights. Through its investments, the Empress can more or less dictate economic policy across the private sector of this nation as she does using National Policy in the public sector."

Lady Ananto-McKinley has been married to Mr. Johnathan Casablancas, a Sulari investor, for four years and has one child so far. At the age of 28, and a year younger than Her Imperial Majesty, she is one of the younger directors of House Ananto named, and is expected to stay with the job for the remainder of her career. "This is an honor to serve the Empire in this capacity," she said as she accepted to nomination. "It's a once in a lifetime chance, the work isn't that difficult, when you consider laying brick in NSP as a comparison, and you do genuinely important work that serves the people of this nation. Who could possibly say no if they had the chance to do this?"

She replaces the outgoing Lady Allison Ananto-Westmoreland who officially retired from public service as of November 30th of this year after serving in her position for fourteen and a half years. "Bringing Christina on was a no brainer: She checks all the boxes. She has a background in business and finance, she has done PR and is not afraid of the press, she has a good brain in her head and most importantly, she's a young Ananto who can make a great career out of managing this House. Both Her Imperial Majesty and I believe she will do wonderfully in this role."
