Northern Trust Appoints Gee to Lead EMEA Sales

Northern Trust has appointed Douglas Gee as head of sales for its asset servicing business in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

Gee was previously head of institutional sales for Northern Trust in the U.K. and Ireland, and replaces Madeleine Senior who was recently appointed lead the custodian’s Australia and New Zealand business.

“Douglas has been instrumental in driving our sales strategy across pensions, insurance companies, sovereign wealth funds and central banks and understands the key challenges faced by both asset owners and asset managers,” said Wilson Leech, head of Northern Trust in EMEA.

“We are pleased to leverage his business development experience and expertise to lead our sales teams, positioning us for further growth and opportunity.”

The appointment marks the latest boost to its EMEA business. In March it appointed David Burnett to head its Hedge Fund Services unit in the region.
