London / Paris, 18/04/2025
H2O AM is nearing the completion of its side pockets (SPs) resolution, following its comprehensive Offer to exit the SP funds. In alignment with this progress and to synchronise with its focus on growth dynamic, the company announces an evolution in its governance structure within the Global Executive Committee, with the introduction of the roles of Chair and Vice-Chair in lieu of the CEO role.
All five current members of the Global Executive Committee share collective responsibility for overseeing H2O AM’s business areas, with the Chair and Vice-Chair roles acting as representatives of the executive authority of the Global Executive Committee. Jean-Christophe Morandeau, Head of Legal, Compliance, and Finance, is appointed as Chair of the Global Executive Committee while Juliette Pianko, Head of Risk and Operations, is appointed as Vice-Chair. Babak Abrar and Vincent Chailley will retain responsibility for their respective areas, with Babak overseeing Sales & Marketing and Vincent leading the Investment team. Loic Guilloux takes on the role of Group General Secretary and will continue handling strategic matters and serving as Président of H2O AM Europe.
The introduction of a Chair and Vice-Chair to the Global Executive Committee is a progressive step for H2O AM’s corporate governance. It will enable the company to more effectively channel a diverse range of insights into its decision-making processes and advancing its strategic initiatives.
This restructured governance aligns with H2O AM’s steadfast dedication to continuous improvement and strategic vision for long-term growth.
