Northern Trust has appointed Belinda Burgess as head of the Nordic region. Burgess, based in Stockholm, replaces Madeleine Senior, who has been appointed as head of sales for Northern Trusts asset servicing business in Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
In her new role, Burgess is responsible for managing the growth and development of Northern Trusts business activities across Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark. She reports to Penelope Biggs, head of the Institutional Investor Group for EMEA, and will work closely with John Krieg, managing director of Northern Trusts asset management business in EMEA.
Burgess joined Northern Trust in 2005 and was most recently a senior executive within Northern Trusts Global Fund Services business, where she was responsible for client service for global asset managers, insurance funds and in-house managed pension schemes.
Northern Trust works with some of the most sophisticated asset owners and investment managers in the Nordics, says Penelope Biggs, head of Northern Trusts Institutional Investor Group (IIG) in EMEA. Belinda has extensive business experience and will support the Nordic team as they deliver first class asset servicing and asset management solutions to meet our clients unique regional requirements.
Senior was appointed to lead Northern Trusts development in the Nordic region when it opened a branch office in Stockholm in September 2009. In 2011, the office extended its asset-servicing offering to include asset management products and services for clients across the region. In her new role, she will report to Wilson Leech, CEO for Northern Trust in EMEA.
Madeleine has made an outstanding contribution to the establishment of our Nordic office and expanding the delivery of our products and services across the region over the past nine years, Leech says. She understands the key challenges faced by institutional investors and fund managers and we are pleased to leverage Madeleines expertise to manage asset servicing sales teams across EMEA, in London.
