Takian Becomes Chief of Morgan's Retail Business
Randy Takian, head of strategy and development for Morgan Stanley's hedge fund and alternative investment products, is now chief of its investment management unit's retail and intermediary business.
Prior to joining Morgan in 2006, Takian oversaw strategy and mergers and acquisitions for Bank of America's global wealth and investment management business.
Morgan recently split its investment products into two units, with Van Kampen running the mutual fund and traditional investment management products, and Morgan Stanley focusing on funds-of-funds, separate accounts and other products targeted to wealthy individual investors.
Both units were run by Michael Kiley until his resignation in March. Jerry Miller was named head of the Van Kampen unit at that time.
JPMorgan Names Lazio MD, Asset Management
Rick Lazio, head of government relations at JPMorgan Chase since 2004 and one-time candidate for New York Senator, is taking on a new role. He is now a managing director in the company's asset management operations.
Lazio, 50, will focus on client development in the global real estate and infrastructure group, strengthening relationships with governmental and public officials.
"Rick's background and relationships, which span both business and government, will provide us with unique insight and access to key clients and help us maintain the business growth we have enjoyed these past few years," said Jes Staley, the head of the asset management business.
A former Republican Congressman representing Long Island, Lazio gave up his political career after losing the 2000 Senate race in New York to Hillary Clinton, in a campaign where he was seriously outspent by his rival and had few odds in his favor.
