CACEIS has appointed Joe Saliba as deputy CEO in charge of business development, product marketing, communications and public affairs. Saliba will start in his new role at CACEIS on Jan. 1 2012 and he will be based in Paris.
Saliba replaces Jos-Benjamin Longree, who left CACEIS at the end of 2010 to join Citi as EMEA head of Client Sales Management for Investors in its Securities and Fund Services business. Since Longrees departure, Franois Marion, CEO of CACEIS, has been fulfilling the deputy CEO responsibilities on an interim basis.
Saliba, a Canadian citizen, has held senior roles at international companies in North America and Europe and has also directed a number of business process outsourcing projects. Prior to his role at CACEIS, Saliba worked for CGI, a global provider of IT and BPO services, which he joined in 2001. At CGI, he held several executive positions including: president – Europe and Asia Pacific, president – USA and India, and president – Business Process Services. In 1989, he joined Sabre, the global airline consulting company and managed the firms operations in France, the UK and internationally. In 1999, he became the president of Sabres management consulting and technology business unit in Dallas, Texas.
Marion said: Joe Saliba’s experience in managing international operations has given him a deep understanding of business ethics, cultures, resource management as well as a clear insight into the way business is conducted in the global marketplace. His international credentials, combined with a strong track record of managing and implementing major corporate projects will play an important role in raising our client service levels, and will be key to helping us achieve our growth and profitability targets over the coming years. I am delighted to welcome him to CACEIS.
