Northern Trust has opened its Manila office to support processing and back-office functions for its global clients. This is its third Asia-Pacific office established this year.

 

“The Philippines is a thriving country with a growing pool of talented, educated individuals,” Northern Trust chairman and chief executive officer Frederick H. Waddell said. “We are pleased to establish our office in Manila, expanding our global operating centres of excellence and offering our clients increased support in their time zone.”

 

Paula Kenee has been appointed as country head in the Philippines. He joined Northern Trust in 1994 and, prior to her new role, was most recently chief operations officer for Northern Trust Asset Management across Europe, Middle East and Africa.
