Schroders is today announcing evolutionary changes to its country leadership team with the announcement of its North America CEO.
Karl Dasher, currently CEO of North America and Co-Head of Fixed Income, will leave the firm at the end of the year. Marc Brookman, who joined Schroders earlier last year as Deputy CEO of North America, will take over as CEO of North America. Philippe Lespinard, who has worked with Karl Dasher for the past 10 years on our Fixed Income Investment Platform, will continue as Head of Fixed Income reporting to Charles Prideaux, Global Head of Investment.
Karl Dasher will work with Marc Brookman and Philippe Lespinard on the leadership transition throughout the remainder of this year and will be available as an adviser to the firm from January 2020. Marc Brookman will report to Lieven Debruyne, Global Head of Distribution.
This smooth transition of responsibilities will ensure our North America business – a region of strategic growth for the firm – and Fixed Income business will continue to benefit from strong leadership and a leading world-class bench of investment talent.
Peter Harrison, Group Chief Executive commented:
“I am confident the appointment of Marc Brookman to our CEO in North America will ensure we continue to service clients’ best interests across North America. We thank Karl for the very positive contribution he has made to the firm.”
