Lombard Odier Investment Managers has appointed Jerry Devlin as head of UK Third-Party Distribution.
Devlin was previously head of UK Distribution at Amundi for three and a half years. At Amundi, Jerry was responsible for implementing a distribution strategy in the UK with an emphasis on global distribution accounts.
Prior to this, he was head of UK Wholesale at Macquarie Group, and has also held head of Sales roles at Castlestone Management and Barings.
Following the departure of Dominick Peasley, head of UK Third-Party Distribution, to pursue other opportunities within financial services, Devlin will join Lombard Odier on 3 January 2017.
“Unprecedented negative rates and direct intervention of key central banks has created a number of unintended consequences for investors to contend with. At Lombard Odier we seek to re-evaluate and rethink the world around us, to build an innovative and specialist investment offering that helps investors face these challenges. We are pleased to welcome Jerry, who brings a wealth of experience and insight that will be valuable as we grow our distribution business in the UK,” said Carolina Minio-Paluello, global head of Sales and Solutions at Lombard Odier.
“We would also like to take this opportunity to wish Dominick well in his future endeavours and thank him for the work he has done during his time with Lombard Odier,” she added.
