of the North American Intermediary Business Group, and Rory Tobin,
current head of European Distribution, will now each become

“Under this new structure and leadership team we can build on our
past success, while responding more quickly to client demands.”
“As ETF markets evolve globally and product innovation continues
to rapidly expand throughout the industry, investors now more than
ever need to strengthen their understanding of the long-term value
of ETFs,” said Ross. “SSGA has been a partner with our clients
since the early days of index investing, and I look forward to
spending more of my time sharing our point of view on how together
we will continue to shape better outcomes for investors.”
