State Street Corporation has hired Effie Datson as global head of product for its alternative investment solutions division.

In this newly created role, Datson is charged initially with expanding the global footprint of InfraHedge, State Street’s $15bn managed account platform.

“There is a huge opportunity in the managed accounts space as large asset owners start to take much greater direct control over their investments and behave increasingly like asset managers,” said George Sullivan, global head of alternative investment solutions at State Street.

“Effie global experience will be invaluable as we continue to grow and strengthen our alternatives business.”

Working together with Bruce Keith, global head of InfraHedge, Datson will focus on taking responsibility for further developing the InfraHedge offering and introducing its infrastructure-only managed accounts solution to large institutional investors globally.

Datson will be based in London and will report to Sullivan.

She joins from Deutsche Bank where she was global co-head of hedge fund sales and helped the development of its dbSelect managed account platform.

Datson has been named one of the ‘50 Leading Women in Hedge Funds’ by The Hedge Fund Journal and founded 100 Women in Hedge Funds in Europe, a global industry association of 13,000 professional women in the hedge fund industry.
