[citation needed] In his 1990 autobiography, To Life: The Story of a Chicago Lawyer, the jurist Elmer Gertz, a protégé of Clarence Darrow and defender of human rights, devoted several pages to Ulrich, whom he had met when she was still a teenager.

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, Ulrich helps foster greater East-West collaboration while providing guidance on business and investment strategies for leading enterprises, private equity, and sovereign wealth funds from North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe.

Ulrich created and ran J.P.Morgan's 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.

[10] 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.

In 2016, besides her duties at JPMorgan, Ulrich was appointed to the trade-and-investment task force of the B20 / G20 member states,[14] and in 2014 to the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) China Business Council Multinational Advisory Committee.
