KNEIP, the asset management service provider, is promoting its head of product management and innovation, Mario Mantrisi, to chief strategist and research officer.
The promotion will come into effect July 2. Reporting directly to CEO Bob Kneip, Mantrisi will be responsible for developing the companys strategy roadmap, analyzing market information, drafting design concepts for new KNEIP products, organizing KNEIP knowledge and training employees. He will be supported by a staff of four, who will be tasked with discovering and developing ways to create more efficient client data management.
The decision to promote Mario to chief strategist and research officer reflects KNEIPs commitment to long-term strategic growth and our ambition to be at the forefront of industry innovation, says CEO Kneip. This division will focus on four discrete business elements: strategy, research and development, industry representation and knowledge management.
Given widespread economic uncertainty and an overwhelming number of European regulatory directives, the need for market intelligence to inform strategic thinking is greater than ever. The establishment of a specialized strategy and research division will help KNEIP to meet that need. It will further benefit our clients as we will increase the amount of research KNEIP publishes and continue to improve on our existing products and solutions, says Mantrisi.
