State Street Investment Management has made two key senior appointments aimed at strengthening its global leadership and client engagement capabilities.
Matteo Andreetto has been named Global head of Nextgen Business Development and Digital Wealth, Executive Vice President (EVP). Matteo will report to Anna Paglia, Chief Business Officer. In this newly created role, Matteo will spearhead collaborative efforts to expand State Street IM’s global reach through innovative distribution partnerships, NextGen digital wealth efforts, and its ETF-as-a-Service offering. Since its launch in 2024, ETF-as-a-Service has enabled asset and wealth management firms to launch ETFs quickly without building full-scale infrastructure. Matteo assumes this new role having developed this initiative, forged partnerships with digital wealth managers and brokers, and having led State Street IM’s European intermediary business.
Marie-Anne Heeren has been appointed Head of Client Coverage Group (CCG) Europe, EVP, overseeing all client-facing teams across Europe. Based in Brussels, Marie-Anne will continue reporting to Ann Prendergast, Head of EMEA. Her focus will be on continuing to deliver exceptional service to institutional and intermediary clients, fostering collaboration, and addressing evolving client needs. Marie-Anne brings extensive experience from her five-year tenure leading State Street IM’s European institutional business, which has seen strong momentum driven in part by structural trends such as pension consolidation, intermediary growth, and continuing client demand in Europe for sustainable investment solutions .
Yie-Hsin Hung, Global CEO for State Street Investment Management, commented: “These appointments reinforce our commitment to innovation and client service. Matteo and Marie-Anne bring deep expertise and proven leadership that will help us continue to deliver market-leading solutions and strengthen partnerships across our global business.”
