Your skills and experience that will help you excel

2. Although not necessarily a quant, she/he will have strong technical, multi-asset class experience and ideally a deep understanding of quantitative analytics tools, indexes and ESG.
3. Extensive experience in product and general management with a balance of product creation and commercial realization, i.e. building businesses through identifying market opportunities, developing products and executing on business strategy.
4. Proven track record of being instrumental in the development of a successful global Wealth Management business.
5. Large network within the Wealth space and the ability to build new relationships to position MSCI for growth in this area.
