Davies has announced the appointment of industry expert Sascha Calisan<\/a>\u00a0as a Director in its\u00a0Asset Management\u00a0practice, where she will lead the firm\u2019s specialist Distribution Services capability. Sascha joins Davies from her previous role as Head of Fund Distribution Support at Northern Trust and brings over 25 years\u2019 asset servicing experience across product management, strategy and research, and client facing roles.<\/p>\n

Sascha Calisan has shaped distribution from concept into suites of consulting services and tools, leveraging the best of breed vendors and enhancing asset managers\u2019 asset raising capability, and their own clients\u2019 experience. Sascha has also worked consultatively with multiple asset managers to help them make informed decisions to raise assets and generate revenue. She began her career in 1996 at Morgan Stanley, before moving to RBC in 1998 then to Northern Trust in 2008, where she latterly served as Head of Fund Distribution Services until her move to Davies.<\/p>\n

Sascha Calisan says:<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a problem solver. Throughout my career, I\u2019ve brought together people and ideas to solve common challenges. The fact that distribution is typically a very fractured part of our industry offers a real opportunity to think laterally, reduce complexity, improve efficiency and give clients (and their clients) the sophisticated simplicity they increasingly expect. And when I was thinking about \u2018what next\u2019, that opportunity, combined with the breadth of Davies\u2019s client base and expertise proved irresistible!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ashley Sheen<\/a>, Davies Chief Strategy Officer & Managing Partner in the Asset Management Practice comments:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cWe are delighted that Sascha is joining our team. \u202fShe is highly regarded, experienced and well networked. Her arrival will enable us to help even more clients to tackle their strategic and operating model challenges in distribution and client experience. She joins at an exciting time, as we continue to partner with our colleagues in the\u00a0Davies Group, to bring their award-winning CX digital technology solutions to the Asset Management industry. We are all excited to be working with her.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
