Davies, an exceptional investor and respected leader, has been with Columbia Threadneedle Investments since 1993. He started his career at Threadneedle Asset Management, a predecessor company that merged with Columbia Management in 2015. Davies has held leadership roles at Threadneedle, including serving as the Equities Chief for the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region.
William Davies is succeeding Colin Moore, who is retiring in January 2022 after serving as Global CIO for 19 years. Moore joined Columbia Threadneedle Investments (then known as Columbia Management) in September 2002 from Putnam Investments.
Ted Truscott, CEO of Columbia Threadneedle Investments, has thanked Moore for his long-standing service and leadership. Truscott looks forward to working with both Davies and Moore to ensure a smooth transition.
Meanwhile, Jason Toms, who has been serving as Global CIO since 2022, has risen internally through investment leadership positions, particularly on the fixed-income side of the business, before his promotion in 2022. Toms led the fixed-income team at Columbia Threadneedle for more than ten years before becoming Global CIO. Prior to becoming Global CIO, he held senior investment leadership roles, bolstering his team's support structure quickly after his appointment as CIO.
