The US asset manager Capital Group has strengthened its presence in the Iberian Peninsula with the incorporation of two senior marketing profiles, Alexia Barra and Júlia Sáez, who will assume responsibility for driving initiatives in this area throughout the region.
Barra joins the team from Janus Henderson Investors, where she led the marketing department for Latin America, the US offshore market, and Iberia. Previously, she held marketing responsibilities at Old Mutual Investment Group and Profim. She holds an MBA from INSEAD and is a superior industrial engineer from Comillas Pontifical University.
On the other hand, Sáez arrives at Capital Group after a ten-year career at Schroders, where she held the position of marketing and communications director, and after a previous stint at Deloitte. She holds a degree in Political and Public Administration Sciences from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and has a master's degree in Political and Corporate Communication from the University of Navarra.
"These additions put us in an ideal position to support clients as we continue to build on that momentum," said Capital Group's business head for Spain, US offshore, and Latin America, Mario González.
