Massimo Greco (pictured), head of EMEA funds at JPMAM, said: “We have made swift progress in bolstering the depth and quality of our UK sales team. Strengthening our activity across the UK IFA and wealth management communities to continue to provide our clients with the best solutions is one of my top priorities.
“As senior hires, James Wring and James Burdis join with an abundance of experience in strategic relationship management and will hit the ground running with immediate and positive contributions to our clients. The talented additions to our sales executive team will ensure we continue to provide excellent service to our clients, which always drives our focus.”
