MSCI Inc. (NYSE: MSCI) today announced changes to its senior
management team designed to drive product and service innovation
and promote growth.
Peter Zangari, who has headed the Analytics product line since
February 2015, has been named Global Head of Research and Product
Development. In addition to setting the research agenda, Mr.
Zangari will drive the integration of research into MSCI's products
and services to deliver innovative solutions to investment
problems. Over the past two years, he has overseen a restructuring
that unified the company’s Portfolio and Risk Management Analytics
units, with dramatic improvements in product delivery and
profitability. Prior to serving as Head of Analytics, Mr. Zangari
served as Head of Equity Analytics from August 2011 until February
2015. He joined MSCI in 2011 from Goldman Sachs Asset Management,
where he served as head of risk and a member of the leadership team
for quantitative investment strategies.
Remy Briand, who in June 2016 was named Head of Environmental,
Social and Governance (ESG) and Real Estate, in addition to his
role as Head of Research, will now focus solely on his product line
responsibilities. Mr. Briand has been the architect of the ESG
product line since 2010 and built it into a clear global industry
leader it is today. As Head of Research, he furthered the
development of MSCI’s Equity Index franchise, with innovative
methodologies such as the frontier markets indexes,
and led the development of MSCI’s
market leading factor indexes. Mr. Briand joined MSCI in 2001 from
Credit Lyonnais Asset Management, where he was an equity portfolio
manager and head of research.
Jorge Mina will succeed Mr. Zangari as Head of Analytics. Mr.
Mina, who has been the Head of Analytics for the Americas, has a
proven track record in building products and services that enable
clients to differentiate their investment strategies and better
manage their risks. Mr. Mina joined MSCI in 2010 following its
acquisition of RiskMetrics and served as a Managing Director in
Risk Management Analytics from 2010 to 2015. Prior to joining MSCI,
Mr. Mina served in a variety of roles at RiskMetrics, including
co-head of the Risk Business and Head of Research. He will join
MSCI’s Executive Committee.
“I am excited by these changes within our senior team,” said
Henry Fernandez, MSCI’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.
“Together these appointments promise to usher in a new phase of
growth by accelerating the problem solving and innovation that
clients expect from MSCI.”
All three executives report to Baer Pettit, MSCI’s Chief
Operating Officer.
