Northern Trust has made two senior promotions within its Investment Risk and Analytical Services (IRAS) team in response to growth in its client base and an increasing complexity of demands and emphasis on this suite of capabilities.
Jim Trotter has been named Global Deputy Head of IRAS, while Simon Willcox has been promoted to lead the international IRAS product management team, for Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA).
Mr. Trotter’s new responsibilities will focus on integrating performance measurement, risk measurement and compliance monitoring solutions across Northern Trust’s increasingly diverse client set, while Mr. Willcox will lead product development to ensure it supports Northern Trust’s growing international client base.
Mr. Trotter joined Northern Trust as head of IRAS EMEA in July 2005, and has close to 20 years of industry experience working in both consulting and asset management organizations, while Mr. Willcox joined Northern Trust in April 2003, as a product development manager.
“We are delighted to announce these new appointments,” Says Paul d’Ouville, global head of IRAS at Northern Trust, “It is part of our strategic aim to recognise talent and ensure our clients can benefit from the experience and skill of key individuals.”
