Ian Martin is now head of State Street Global Markets and State Street Global Exchange for the Asia-Pacific region. Martin, who has spent the past 21 years with State Street in Australia, will soon relocate to Hong Kong. Global Markets is the investment, research and trading arm of State Street while Global Exchange is the organization’s portfolio performance, analytics and electronic trading business.
Martin was most recently head of State Street’s investment servicing business, State Street Global Services for Australia, South Asia and the Pacific, as well as head of Global Markets for Australia and New Zealand. He joined State Street in 1993 as treasury manager of the Sydney branch.
Andrew Erickson, based in Hong Kong, is head of global services and investment manager services (IMS) for Asia-Pacific. Erickson will focus heavily on next-generation strategic initiatives and manage the day-to-day client relationships, client on-boarding, and product and service innovation across the region.
Erickson was previously responsible for State Street’s Global Services business in North Asia. He has been with State Street for more than 20 years and has held a variety of management positions in Australia, New Zealand, Japan and Hong Kong within business development, relationship management, operations and information technology divisions.
Martin and Erickson continue to report to Wai-Kwong Seck, State Street’s Asia-Pacific head of Global Services and Global Markets. Seck says the management changes are part of a broader regional re-configuration for greater alignment across State Street’s core businesses and within its senior-level management to better address the challenges the clients are facing.
