Company Press Release
BOSTON - (Business Wire) State Street Corporation (NYSE: STT), the world’s leading provider of financial services to institutional investors, today announced that its board of directors has appointed Jay Hooley, vice chairman and head of State Street’s global investment servicing, trading and research businesses, to president and chief operating officer. He will continue to report directly to Ronald E. Logue, chairman and CEO of State Street.
Hooley, age 51, is responsible for all of State Street’s asset servicing activities worldwide including investment servicing, investment research and trading and securities finance. Under his leadership, State Street has consistently achieved high growth, expanded its global presence and enhanced its capabilities and services for its customers. Today the company is a leading provider of investment servicing to institutional investors including alternative investment, mutual and offshore fund servicing, multi-asset class trading, securities finance and transition management.
“Jay is a proven leader with a strong knowledge of our industry and the trends shaping its future,” said Logue. “He has made a significant impact to our past success and I have no doubt as president of State Street he will have an equally profound impact on our future. His vision and in-depth understanding of our businesses will ensure that anticipating and meeting our customers’ needs always remain at the forefront of what we do.”
Since joining State Street in 1986, Hooley has held a number of leadership positions with the company. After leading the company’s US Mutual Fund sales organization, Hooley joined State Street’s shareholder servicing joint venture with Kansas City-based DST systems. From 1988 to 1990, he served as president and chief executive officer of National Financial Data Services and went on to become president and chief executive officer of Boston Financial Data Services from 1990 to 2000. During this time, he oversaw the dramatic growth of the core domestic services business and was responsible for the creation of International Financial Data Services extending the joint venture’s shareholder servicing offering to Europe and Canada. He returned to State Street in 2000 to manage its global investment servicing business and assumed his current responsibilities in 2004. Hooley, a member of State Street’s Operating Group, the company’s most senior strategy and policy-making team, was named vice chairman of State Street in 2006.
“This is a time of tremendous opportunity within our industry although one that is coupled with heightened complexity and challenges for our customers,” said Hooley. “As president and COO I am committed to continuing to leverage the considerable advantages we have established in terms of global reach, scale and investment in technology and innovation to benefit all of our constituencies.”
Hooley is an active member of a number of community organizations.
