SSgA’s Lazberger gains international role
State Street Global Advisor’s (SSgA) former Sydney-based Asia Pacific head, Mark Lazberger, has been named president of SSgA’s international business.
Lazberger’s elevation was announced today by the president and chief executive of SSgA, Bill Hunt, as part of a series of organisational changes he said were aimed at advancing sales and client infrastructure in Europe and the US.
He said Lazberger had a considerable impact in growing SSgA’s global business over the past decade, first in Asia-Pacific and then in Europe.
“This newly-created position reflects the growing importance of SSgA’s international businesses,” Hunt said.
