William Tyree will become managing partner at Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. (BBH), with effect from January 1, 2016.
Tyree will succeed Douglas “Digger” Donahue, who will soon reach the customary age at which BBH Partners relinquish managerial responsibility (65), said BBH.
Donahue joined BBH in 1976 and has served in his current role since 2008. He will remain one of the Firm’s general partners.
Tyree joined BBH in 1985, and was named a partner in 2001. Over the course of his career at BBH, Tyree has held various positions within the firm. He currently serves as head of the firm’s Investor Services Business, a position he has held for the last eight years. Immediately prior to this, Tyree ran the firm’s Treasury and Markets Division after beginning his career as a corporate lending officer in the firm’s Banking Business. Today, he chairs the firm’s Investor Services Oversight Committee, and is a member of both the BBH Executive and Finance Committees.
“I’m honoured to succeed Digger who has so capably led the firm these last eight years, and I’m likewise excited to guide BBH into the future,” says Tyree.
