Global provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) Invesco PowerShares has appointed Caroline Baron as head of Invesco PowerShares ETF Distribution UK.

Baron’s appointment is part of the ongoing programme from the provider of Intelligent ETFs to expand its team in Europe.

Baron, who will be responsible for driving Invesco PowerShares’ distribution strategy in the UK, joins from iShares, Blackrock in London.

Most recently she was responsible for the servicing of UK Wealth Managers, Private Banks and Asset Managers. She started her career at iShares in 2006 with responsibility for sales to French institutional clients.
