“Over the past three years, together with our Board, we have

moving existing leaders into important new roles,” said Henry
Fernandez, MSCI Chairman and CEO. “We are fortunate to have an
executive with Baer’s combination of industry experience and
knowledge of MSCI to move into the job of Chief Operating Officer.
I am also confident that Diana’s strategic vision and close
relationships with our clients will enable MSCI to maintain and
strengthen our position as the leader in global equity
indexes.”

from the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. He
currently serves as Chairman of the Index Industry Association, the
