UK- Axa Rosenberg Investment Management has brought in Will Jump from its US office to take up the position as chief executive for Europe. Jump, who has been with Axa for twelve years most recently as its director of global product strategy, will report to the group’s overall chief executive Francois Robinet.

He replaces Richard Worts who resigned earlier this year as European chief executive after just twelve months in the job. Axa has also decided to separate the role of head of UK and European marketing, previously undertaken by the chief executive in London, and appointed Simon Vanstone of State Street Global Advisors to fill it.

Vanstone has worked with State Street in marketing roles since 1993, eventually ending up as sales director in London.

Vanstone will report to head of global marketing Jennie Patterson who took over responsibility for European marketing on a temporary basis after Worts’ departure.

Axa Rosenberg, which was established in 1985, manages around £9bn worldwide in both segregated portfolios and in a range of Dublin-based UCITS.
