Paul Fleming, global head of Global Alternatives Segment at State Street, commented: “I’m very pleased to welcome Jesse to State Street. He’s a seasoned leader who joins us at an optimal time to provide important leadership to our private markets team. Investment in private markets is growing significantly across all our segments as investors continue to reach for yield in a low-rate, low-growth environment, and our clients continue to ask for more private market products. With Jesse’s appointment, we are confident we have the right team in place to ensure we are meeting the multifaceted needs of our clients and be able to provide them with more solutions.”

The industry veteran has over 30 years of experience in private markets, having joined State Street from Goldman Sachs, where he was Managing Director of Global Shareholder and Fund Services. He also held operational roles at Invesco and Northern Trust.

He is recognized as an innovator in developing forward-thinking products to drive growth and has run global client service business, built high performing teams, and developed and executed strategic transformation throughout his career.
