Northern Trust Asset Management announced Wednesday the appointment of Pedro Guazo as the firm’s head of international and responsible investing.
Guazo will oversee NTAM’s businesses in the Asia Pacific and EMEA regions and will be responsible for leading the firm’s $189 billion responsible investing platform. He will report to Daniel Gamba, NTAM’s president.
Previously, Guazo was CEO of the United Nations Joint Staff Pension Fund’s Office of Investment Management, the entity that manages the UN’s $100 billion pension fund. During his five-year tenure, he grew assets by nearly 60% over a five-year period, according to Northern Trust’s announcement.
“Pedro’s experience in leading large and complex organizations around the globe, his successful track record managing large pools of assets and his extensive responsible investing background make him perfectly suited to lead our business in Europe, the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, and further strengthen the solutions we provide to clients,” Gamba said in a statement.
