Northern Trust has welcomed Kashif Khalid as head of the Middle East and Africa (MEA), underscoring the company’s commitment to its client franchise across the region as it continues to invest in local expertise, infrastructure and capabilities to support clients’ evolving needs.
In his new role, Khalid is responsible for the strategic development and business growth of Northern Trust’s asset servicing business across MEA.
Prior to this role, Khalid most recently served at SimCorp where he was managing director of MEA.
He oversaw the region’s business and growth into key markets, working with some of the largest sovereign wealth funds, pension funds and central banks in the region.
The firm says Khalid brings a wealth of experience in supporting institutional investors to implement scalable and agile solutions that integrate and optimise investment management platforms, delivering timely and critical insights for decision-making.
James Wright, head of asset owners EMEA, says: “Kashif’s expertise will be invaluable as we continue to drive forward our growth strategy in the region.
“His depth of experience working with asset owners in delivering data-driven, technology-enabled solutions across multi-asset investment platforms, is central to our commitment to delivering client-centered solutions to support the increasingly sophisticated needs of asset owners and helping them to achieve their goals.”
