Fiera Capital Corp. has appointed Eric Roberts as executive director and chief executive officer, Fiera USA, effective Nov. 13, 2023. Mr. Roberts will be based in Boston and will have a regular presence in the company's New York and Dayton offices.

"Eric is a renowned and high-performing leader in our industry. His knowledge of the industry and more specifically, the U.S. market, will be an important advantage in expanding and strengthening our position in the United States and drive organic growth in this key market," said Jean-Guy Desjardins, chairman of the board and global chief executive officer.

"I am excited to join Fiera Capital's dynamic team as we embark on a new chapter of growth and expansion in the United States," stated Mr. Roberts. "I look forward to working closely with the talented team of professionals at Fiera Capital to expand the company's presence in the United States."
