Lombard Odier Investment Managers, the institutional asset management arm of Lombard Odier, the Swiss bank, has appointed Nancy Everett to the newly created post of senior advisor for its US-based business. 

Everett will work with LOIM’s teams to strengthen distribution capabilities to institutional clients in the US. She will report to Hubert Keller, the managing partner of Lombard Odier responsible for LOIM.

“Investors’ needs in this economic environment are increasingly sophisticated and as our US business expands to respond, Nancy’s experience will help us tailor solutions,” said Keller.

Everett left BlackRock in December 2013 after joining the firm in 2011 to initiate and develop the US fiduciary management business, within the company’s multi-asset class solutions group. Prior to joining BlackRock, she served as chief executive officer and chief investment officer of Promark Global Advisors (known as General Motors Asset Management until March 2009), having earlier held the CIO position for the Virginia Retirement System. 

LOIM’s Geneva-headquartered business, a unit of Lombard Odier, manages $47.7 billion on behalf of clients as of December 2013. To see another recent story about the bank and its work on the digital front, click here.
