Natixis Global Asset Management, dually headquartered in Paris and Boston, announced several key changes to its leadership on Thursday, as Jean Raby will join the firm as CEO and as a member of its senior management committee while David Giunta, currently president and CEO of U.S. and Canadian distribution, will assume an expanded role as president and CEO for the U.S. and Canada.
Raby, a dual Canadian and French citizen, will join Natixis on Feb. 20 and will be in charge of asset-management, private banking and private equity lines of business. He takes over from Pierre Servant, who has been appointed senior advisor to Laurent Mignon, CEO of Natixis’ eponymous parent company.
Servant’s new role will involve providing strategic guidance and advisory for the company; he will remain a member of Natixis’ senior management committee.
As for Giunta, he will have additional responsibility for the firm’s affiliated investment managers in the U.S. and Canada in his new role and will report directly to Raby.
Giunta will take over oversight of investment affiliates in the region from former president and CEO for the Americas and Asia, John Hailer, who has announced plans to retire from Natixis to dedicate himself more fully to public service and philanthropic work. Hailer will remain with the firm until the end of April to assist with the transition
