State Street Corporation has appointed Neil Macdonald as head of the asset managers segment in Asia-Pacific, effective May 14. In the newly created role, Macdonald will lead the firm’s engagement strategy for asset manager clients in the region, including strategic direction and solutions structuring, and will be responsible for the overall growth of the segment.

Based in Hong Kong, Macdonald will report globally to Donna Milrod, head of global asset managers segment and global clients division, and regionally to Mostapha Tahiri, chief executive officer for Asia-Pacific.

"Asset managers are a key segment for our Asia-Pacific business which continues to be a growth engine for State Street," says Tahiri.

Neil's experience and deep understanding of asset managers' needs will strengthen our positioning to be an essential partner and trusted adviser for asset managers in the region.”
