New York City-based MSCI Inc. announced on Wednesday it has appointed executive director Francesco Faiola to country manager for MSCI in Canada.
Faiola is based in Toronto.
“Canada is a growing and important market for MSCI and over the last 10 years we have developed longstanding relationships with our clients there,” says Jay McNamara, managing director and head of Americas client coverage for MSCI, in a news release.
“With Francesco in place as country manager, we aim to continue meeting the needs of our Canadian clients and increase our local presence.”
Faiola joined global indexing and analytics firm MSCI as vice president in 2004 in France. In 2013, he relocated to Toronto to lead the relationships with Canadian asset owners and consultants using MSCI Analytics, after covering a similar role for The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Denmark and Southern Europe.
Faiola started his career with the global custody business of J.P. Morgan & Company in Brussels, and he spent seven years at Moody’s Investors Services in London and Paris.
