The CFA Institute, a global association for investment professionals, has appointed former Invesco chief executive John Rogers as its new president and chief executive.
Rogers begins in the role today and succeeds Jeff Diermeier, who has been in the job since January 2005.
"After conducting an extensive global search, the board of governors believes it has chosen an excellent leader in John Rogers, who will guide CFA Institute during a period of growth and globalisation," CFA Institute chairman Brian Singer said.
"We believe John's global practitioner perspective on the investment management industry and his exceptional leadership abilities afford the potential to leverage CFA Institute resources for the benefit of our organisation and the investment community worldwide."
Rogers brings to the CFA Institute more than two decades of global experience as an investment practitioner and executive in the Asia Pacific region.
Most recently, he returned to the United States as president and chief executive of Invesco's institutional business, with worldwide responsibilities for this part of the firm's business.
Prior to that he served as president and chief investment officer of Invesco Asset Management Japan, as chief executive and co-chief investment officer of Invesco Global Asset Management, and has held roles at Citibank and Cigna.
Since leaving Invesco in 2007 Rogers has founded Jade River Capital Management.
