Northern Trust has appointed Marie Dzanis as senior vice president and head of ETF sales and servicing.
In this role, Dzanis will lead the sales and servicing team for Northern Trust’s FlexShares exchange-traded funds.
Dzanis will be based at Northern Trust’s Chicago headquarters and report to Shundrawn A. Thomas, managing director and global business head of the exchange-traded funds group.
“Marie’s in-depth knowledge of exchange-traded fund sales and the broader asset management industry will be invaluable for Northern Trust,” says Thomas. “Her relationships with financial advisory teams and broker-dealers across the United States will advance our business goals.”
Dzanis comes to Northern Trust after more than two decades in asset management and financial industry sales. Most recently, she worked for Blackrock iShares, where she developed and led the Eastern US Private Client sales division for iShares Exchange Traded Products.
Before holding that position, Dzanis was a vice president and regional manager for the Eastern United States at J.P. Morgan Asset Management. There, she developed and oversaw the sales distribution team for separately managed accounts and mutual fund assets.
Dzanis holds a bachelor’s degree in political theory with a focus on economics from the Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C. She has earned her Certified Investment Management Analyst designation and is a member of the Investment Management Consultants Association (IMCA).
