Northern Trust Appoints Angelo Calvitto Head of Asia-Pacific Region

Northern Trust, a leading provider of wealth management, asset servicing, asset management and banking, announced that it has secured Angelo (Ange) Calvitto head of Asia-Pacific region. Angelo will be responsible for Northern Trust's asset servicing business across the area.

Angelo has over 30 years of global custody services experience and has held positions in operations, investment administration, fund services, relationship management and sales in both the Australian and UK markets. He joined Northern Trust in 2008 and before the latest appointment as the head of Asia-Pacific region, he was the managing director and country head for Northern Trust in Australia. He also worked as head of sales, Asia Pacific and head of sales and marketing, Australia and New Zealand. Prior to joining Northern Trust, he worked as head of sales and account management at Custodian Services of ANZ, the top 4 banks in Australia. 

The appointment was delivered while William Mak is retiring from the company after 11 years. Mak led the expansion of Northern Trust's footprint across the Asia-Pacific region from Singapore, which this year celebrates 25 years since it was first established as Northern Trust's regional headquarters. Today the company has 11 offices across the region.

"We thank William for his service and leadership and are delighted to name Ange to this important role," said Peter Cherecwich, president of Corporate & Institutional Services, Northern Trust. "The Asia-Pacific region is a leading centre for technology innovation, with Singapore as a key hub, particularly for our blockchain initiatives. More broadly, we continue to see significant demand for our entire range of asset servicing solutions across the region.

"Ange, through his leadership of our business in Australia, has demonstrated his expertise in bringing our solutions to clients and we look forward to seeing him harness his experience across the region and continuing to build on William's successful legacy," he added.
