The Geneva-headquartered asset manager is eyeing growth in the international intermediary markets with the new recruits.

Unigestion has hired Simone Gallo, Andrea Di Nisio and Lloyd Reynolds within its newly formed intermediary team.

Gallo joins as head of intermediary distribution, having spent the last six years as senior vice president in the global clients group of Pictet Asset Management. Before that, he was an executive director at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, in charge of the sales relationships across global accounts in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. In his new role, he will be responsible for building the global intermediary channels focusing on wealth managers, multi-managers and sub-advisory mandates.

Di Nisio has been appointed head of Southern Europe intermediaries. His main focus will be to build Unigestion’s presence in intermediary channels in Spain, Italy and Portugal. He previously spent seven years as a partner at Dalton Strategic Partnership, responsible for promoting the firm and its funds to intermediaries across Southern Europe. He will focus on building Unigestion’s presence in intermediary channels in Spain, Italy and Portugal.

Reynolds joins as head of Nordic and UK intermediaries, responsible for driving growth in these markets. He most recently worked at North Hill, having previously held international leadership roles for Goldman Sachs Asset Management, JP Morgan, Schroders Private Bank and Flemings. 

All three will be based in London.

“It is exciting to have Simone, Andrea and Lloyd on board bringing their collective knowledge of the international intermediary markets. They will help us extend access to our strategies through these markets, sharing the benefits of our institutional quality strategies to fund selectors looking to grow and protect the assets of their clients through multi assets, liquid alternative and equity solutions,” said Tom Leavitt, managing director at Unigestion.
