Industry Heavyweight Named AIMA CEO

Jack Inglis has been named as the new CEO of the Alternative Investment Management Association.

Inglis joins from Barclays where he was a member of the Global Executive Committee for Prime Services and was previously CEO of Ferox Capital between 2007 and 2010. He also spent 16 years at Morgan Stanley where he was co-head of European Prime Brokerage from 2003-2007.

Inglis will take over from Andrew Baker, whose departure was announced in June.
Baker had been CEO since the beginning of 2009, having previously been deputy CEO since 2007. Inglis will start in the role at the beginning of 2014, with Baker remaining to oversee the handover until then.

Commenting on his new role, Jack Inglis said: “I am delighted to be joining AIMA. It has a tremendously important role to play representing the industry globally and has been instrumental since the crisis in engaging positively with policymakers and regulators internationally. It has also done a lot of important educational work explaining the value that the industry provides to investors, markets and the broader economy.”

Kathleen Casey, AIMA Chairman, added: “Jack’s breadth of experience in the industry, including executive roles in prime brokerage and experience as CEO of a hedge fund, will prove valuable in representing the interests of AIMA. I also want to thank Andrew for all his years of service to the Association. He helped to make AIMA the influential and respected global player that it is now and he departs with our sincere thanks and best wishes for the future.”
