Downing, who was previously a retail manager for Invesco in the UK, will be based at the Dubai premises Invesco moved into at the start of this year to accommodate its eight staff.
The newly-created role is part of Invesco’s “expansion plans” which has recently seen the Dubai office take on Africa as part of its regional remit, said Invesco Middle East managing director Nick Tolchard.
Tolchard said Downing would enable Invesco to put more resource into coverage of key distribution channels in the form of the life companies, IFAs and more specialist private banks.
