Northern Trust has named Douglas Gee as its global head of sales for asset servicing, effective July 1, replacing the retiring Jon Dunham and reporting to Teresa Parker, president of Northern Trust Asset Servicing.

Based in London, Gee, the company says, will be responsible for driving global sales strategy, accelerating new business revenue growth and expanding awareness of the asset manager’s ever-evolving capabilities.

Gee joined Northern Trust in 2008 to lead its asset owner business development for the UK and Ireland. He currently manages the company’s business development teams for the Europe, Middle East and Africa ( EMEA ) and Asia-Pacific regions and will be adding the Americas to his remit.

He has more than 25 years of business development experience, having previously specialized in the IT industry prior to joining Northern Trust.

“Gee has been instrumental in driving new business growth across both the EMEA and Asia-Pacific regions, focusing on the evolving investment operating model challenges of many new and prospective clients,” Parker notes. “With his extensive experience and proven track record in driving sales growth, he is poised to lead our business development organization into its next phase of success, aligning with our strategic objectives and commitment to deliver client-centric solutions.”
