Invesco has hired Oliver Bilal as its new head of Emea distribution.
Based in the UK, Bilal (pictured) will report to Doug Sharp, senior managing director and head of Emea. He will look after the $1.5trn (£1.2trn) fund group’s network of retail and institutional clients spanning 18 locations across the UK, Ireland, continental Europe and the United Arab Emirates.
Bilal has held a variety of senior sales roles at Allianz Global Investors and Pioneer Investments (now Amundi Pioneer) and was previously head of Emea at UBS Asset Management. He joins Invesco from Natixis Investment Managers where he was head of international sales and marketing.
“Oliver is a highly experienced leader with a strong investment distribution pedigree and a clear focus on client needs,” Sharp said.
“I am delighted he is joining Invesco to continue our growth and expansion in Emea and to lead the exceptional distribution team in place.”
