Jon Cleborne, head of Europe, said: “Her appointment underscores our commitment to the continued evolution of our multi-asset capabilities. Ursula will be instrumental in leading our experienced teams, who play a key role in helping European and international clients build better portfolios, address their challenges, and adapt to changing market conditions.”
Prior to her role at BlackRock, Marchioni held positions at Credit Suisse, Société Générale and KPMG. She holds a degree in Physics from the University of Trento.
