Neuberger Berman Creates New CIO Role For EMEA

The holder of the newly-created role has worked in the space for 25 years, with stints at Mercer, among other places.

Neuberger Berman, the US investment house, has hired Niall O’Sullivan for a newly-created role as chief investment officer, multi-asset strategies, Europe, Middle East and Africa.

O’Sullivan, who will be based in London and Dublin, will report to Erik Knutzen, multi-asset chief investment officer, and Doug Kramer, head of institutional equity and multi-asset class and locally to Dik van Lomwel, head of EMEA and Latin America.

Prior to joining Mercer in 2010, O’Sullivan was with QED in Dublin, where he focused on solution-driven investment opportunities with banks and insurance companies. Before QED, he was at Bank of Ireland Global Markets, working with clients and developing the bank’s LDI product range and inflation-linked solutions. 

O’Sullivan holds an MSc in investment and treasury from Dublin City University and a BA (Mod) in mathematics from Trinity College. 

Neuberger Berman, founded in 1939, manages $418 billion in client assets as of 30 June 2022.
