Northern Trust has bolstered its asset servicing business in the Middle East and Africa with two new senior appointments, based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
Justin Miller, who has been appointed head of relationship management for the Middle East and Africa, will be responsible for the oversight and strategic development of asset servicing relationships for Northern Trust in the region.
Miller leads a team of relationship managers providing asset servicing, capital markets, liquidity and data solutions in support of the bank’s clients’ investment strategies.
He will take on the new position after more than three years as Northern Trust’s head of client management for securities lending for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
Meanwhile, Chris Dulieu has been named Northern Trust’s head of client service for the Middle East and Africa.
In the new role, Dulieu will focus on overseeing clients’ custodial, investment accounting, performance and reporting services.
Dulieu joins the Middle East and Africa team from his previous role as a senior relationship manager responsible for servicing pension fund clients in the UK.
The two new positions support Northern Trust’s continued business growth across the region, and follow the expansion of its senior management team in Saudi Arabia, announced earlier this month.
Michael Slater, head of Middle East and Africa at Northern Trust, commented: “As our clients’ strategies evolve to meet the opportunities and challenges of the market, they require services delivered in their working week and time zone. Expanding the breadth and depth of local expertise for our clients across the Middle East and Africa through these appointments reflects our commitment to anticipating and meeting their evolving requirements.”
