Schroders appoints new Head of Client Group Strategy Execution and Delivery

News release, 5 September 2025

Schroders, a global leader in active asset management, today unveils enhancements to its client-first proposition with the appointment of Ed Mitchell as the Head of Client Group Strategy Execution and Delivery.

Ed joins from BNY Investments, where he was Managing Director and Global Head of Distribution Business Operations for six years. Ed, who boasts extensive global experience following previous stints at Henderson Global Investors and Barclays, will report into Matt Oomen, Global Head of Client Group.

In this newly created role, Ed will be responsible for enhancing and delivering Schroders’ sales and client strategy, as well as its risk and governance frameworks across the Client Group.

Matt Oomen, Global Head of Client Group, Schroders, said: ​
​“This is a superb appointment for us; Ed brings the optimal combination of expertise in commercial strategy and transformation. He boasts a wealth of experience, having successfully navigated various market cycles throughout his career. ​
​“Ed will accelerate the progress we have already made with our strong framework for sales excellence. His skillset will help drive productivity and deliver best-in-class client experiences.”

Schroders announced Matt’s appointment to lead Client Group in June as the firm continues to drive deeper client relationships with its global investor base.

According to Schroders’ annual Global Investor Insights Survey, published earlier this year, the majority of investors plan to increase their use of active management over the next 12 months, with 94% also concerned by market concentration risks.
