AIMSE: Europe, the Association of Investment Management Sales Executives in Europe, has named Ashley Manning-Brown, a sales executive at Columbia Threadneedle, as its new chair.
Chris Yiannakou, who had led Loomis Sayles’ non-profit company for three years, is succeeded by Manning-Brown. Yiannakou is going to stay on the Board.
Manning-Brown says: “It is an honour to be appointed chair of AIMSE: Europe. I believe passionately in supporting investment sales executives and marketing professionals to develop the skills and knowledge that they need to be successful and professional in their roles. The work of AIMSE supports this through our events and, recently launched, mentoring programme.
“I’d like to put on record AIMSE’s thanks for the work that Chris has done leading the AIMSE Board. His dedication and commitment to AIMSE has been nothing short of immense, particularly in steering AIMSE successfully through the pandemic.”
Yiannakou says: “I’d like to congratulate Ashley on his appointment as chair of AIMSE: Europe. It has been a challenging few years overseeing AIMSE with our events programme having to quickly pivot online temporarily because of the global pandemic.
“But the not-for-profit organisation has continued to go from strength to strength and I am proud of the role that AIMSE volunteers have played in running events and developing new initiatives to support investment sales and marketing executives. I’m looking forward to continuing to support Ashley and wish him all the best going forward.”
