In these positions he was responsible for driving and executing business strategies, risk management processes and delivering a ‘one State Street’ experience for clients.
“The EMEA region is very important to us and we are proud to have had a presence there for almost 50 years with more than 13,000 employees,” said Francisco Aristeguieta. “Throughout his career Jörg has demonstrated successful leadership of key businesses and teams and will now drive our EMEA strategy forward. Our clients and the industry are at a moment of profound change and Jörg’s track-record as a strategic partner to institutional clients, his knowledge of complex and diverse regional regulations as well as his experience working across broad stakeholder groups position him perfectly for this role. I am confident he will deliver successful outcomes for our clients and our firm.”
Ambrosius added: “I am excited to take on this new role at such an important time for State Street, our clients and the industry. It is vital that we are focused on providing strategic partnership to our clients to help them navigate challenges and achieve their objectives, while delivering on our financial commitments to our shareholders and maintaining risk excellence. We have a very strong platform in EMEA from which to build, and I look forward to working with the teams across the region to drive growth and deliver returns.”
