executive for EMEA, succeeding Biff Bowman, who has held the role since 2008.

Bowman has been appointed to replace Lee Selander who is

London-based role Leech will oversee all of Northern Trust’s businesses in EMEA

continuing expansion for Northern Trust and Wilson’s experience, local
expertise and strong leadership will be instrumental as we build on the
contributions that Biff has made during his tenure as CEO,” said Steven
Fradkin, Northern Trust’s president of corporate and institutional services.
