Aberdeen Investments has appointed John McCareins as its new chief client officer. He joins from Northern Trust Asset Management, where he was executive vice president and head of international.
McCareins will join Aberdeen in mid-June 2025 and will sit on Aberdeen’s Group Executive Leadership Team.
Based in London, he will be responsible for Aberdeen’s global commercial franchise, including strategic partnerships, business development, client experience and advancing its solutions capabilities across insurance companies, pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, financial institutions and wealth managers, according to a statement by the asset manager.
McCareins has more than 25 years of institutional investment and advisory experience, and most recently led Northern Trust Asset Management’s international business from London, including APAC and EMEA.
Prior to that, McCareins led its APAC business based in Hong Kong, having spent his early Northern Trust career in Chicago in the multi-manager solutions practice.
Xavier Meyer, CEO of Aberdeen Investments, said: “John combines a proven track record of delivering strong organic growth and exceptional client service, with an emphasis on people, solutions and process.”
