Northern Trust announced today that Penelope Biggs has been appointed as head of Northern Trust's Institutional Investor Group for Europe Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Her appointment further aligns Northern Trust's sales and client servicing teams and supports a continued focus on providing market-leading solutions to clients.
In her new role, Biggs will lead client servicing and sales, consulting and marketing for the Institutional Investor Group, which provides asset servicing solutions to institutional investors, such as pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, and insurance companies.
Biggs, who joined Northern Trust in 1996, was most recently head of business development, marketing, product and strategy for Northern Trust's asset servicing business in EMEA. She also chairs Northern Trust's Retirement Solutions Practice, an advisory group dedicated to helping institutions navigate the complexities of the global retirement market.
"Penny has been instrumental in developing our asset servicing business in EMEA," said Biff Bowman, CEO of Northern Trust in EMEA. "We are delighted to appoint Penny to this new role where she can utilise her extensive experience to support our clients' needs."
Biggs takes on an expanded role from Peter Holman, who has been named Chief Administration Officer for EMEA. In this newly created role, Holman will oversee Northern Trust's EMEA product team as well as the Investment Risk and Analytical Services group. He has over 25 years of industry experience and joined Northern Trust in 1995.
"We have seen our clients' requirements become increasingly sophisticated as they focus on solutions that can help them manage risk - from products designed to help manage regulatory reporting requirements to those that satisfy demands for transparency and integrated reporting data," said Bowman.
"By creating this new role, which aligns the product and risk teams together under Peter, we are better positioned to continue providing our clients with innovative and market-leading solutions that cater to their evolving requirements."
