Michelle Scrimgeour, CEO of Legal & General Investment Management, and Patrick Thomson, CEO for EMEA of J.P. Morgan Asset Management, have been appointed deputy chairs, in a move to bolster the IA’s long-term strategic direction and industry leadership.

The three were appointed to the most senior positions on the IA’s board, following a board meeting and vote, and will assume their roles on 1 May 2020. Skeoch replaces Peter Harrison, group CEO of Schroders, as chair after his three-year term as chair comes to an end. Scrimgeour and Thomson replace Skeoch as deputy chair of the IA board.
