BlackRock's Mark Elliott
With the aim of driving its business across Europe and the Middle East, BlackRock has made a significant management change by shifting Mark Elliott from the UK into the region.
Elliott will take on the role of head of EMEA retail strategic client accounts, reporting to Alex Hoctor-Duncan, BlackRock's head of retail sales for EMEA. His position as head of UK retail sales was taken on by Jeremy Roberts, who has been at BlackRock since 2001, running the firm’s discretionary business since 2008, at the beginning of this year.
Roberts reports to Tony Stenning, head of UK retail business.
Hoctor-Duncan commented: “Mark has enormous experience and a successful track record of navigating large client relationships. Focusing on strategic clients in his new capacity Mark will work closely with the regional coverage teams, the platinum client coverage team and the EMEA retail leadership team.”
