State Street has appointed Rob Baillie as head of its asset owner business team for North America.
In his new role, Baillie will be responsible for advancing an integrated, strategic partner approach to the firm’s asset owner clients across North America.
He will also drive service enhancements and solution development in support of State Street’s pension fund and endowment clients.
Additionally, Baillie will work closely with Ian Martin, who was appointed global head of State Street’s overall asset owner segment team earlier this year.
Baillie will take up this newly created leadership role in addition to his current responsibilities leading State Street’s businesses in Canada.
He will report to John Lehner, head of global services, State Street, Americas, and its global asset management segment.
Commenting on his appointment, Baillie said: “I am delighted to take on the responsibility of leading our North America efforts with some of our largest and most complex clients.”
“I am looking forward to spending time with them in the coming weeks and months. Now more than ever we must be focused on helping these organisations achieve their desired outcomes, as well as those of the people they serve.”
