Azer joins from Mercer, where she was a Principal, leading operational consulting for all aspects of investment implementation and operations for clients across Asia. Prior to this, she held a variety of client service, project and operations roles at BNP, Orion Asset Management and AAS. The appointment is a return to J.P. Morgan for Azer, who commenced her career with the
organisation in 1996.
David Braga, Head of Product, Investor Services, Australia and New Zealand, J.P. Morgan Worldwide Securities Services, said Azer brings to the role a deep understanding of market best practice as well as the needs of institutional clients.
"Marian’s appointment underscores J.P. Morgan’s continued focus on our clients’ evolving needs. Her experience means she will seamlessly transition into the role, and be able to quickly respond to changing client and market needs. She has an exemplary market reputation and industry presence, which will continue to extend our engagement with clients and industry partners.
"Marian’s proven ability to drive end-to-end programs, her core strategic and problem solving skills and solid project management and implementation experience also complement the skills of the other members of the Investor Services Product team," Braga added.
J.P. Morgan’s investment in the Australian market goes beyond a commitment to appoint the best people. Earlier this year, J.P. Morgan WSS announced an AUD30 million investment in new product and technology solutions to provide its clients with an enhanced service delivery experience.
