State Street Global Advisors (SSgA), the investment management arm of State Street Corporation, named Bill Driscoll as director of research for its global fundamental strategies (GFS) team.
Driscoll, who will report to Matthew McPhee, was previously an equity analyst with the GFS group for five years, covering the media industry.
“Bill distinguished himself among many external candidates and evolved as the clear choice for this position,” McPhee said. “He has a strong commitment to GFS, a determination to help build on our success, and most importantly, the vision and passion needed to continue to enhance our investment research efforts.”
Prior to joining SSgA, Driscoll was the director of strategic planning for Hoyts Cinemas Corporation in Boston. He also has five years of banking experience from Fleet Bank and BankBoston.
Driscoll holds a B.A. in business economics and organizational management from Brown University and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.
