With a distinguished career in investment management, Chris Hogbin will lead Lazard Asset Management into its next chapter — building on our legacy of excellence and strengthening the trust we’ve earned with clients worldwide. Chris shares his perspective and aspirations in this video.
I'm delighted to begin my journey today as CEO of Lazard Asset Management.
It's a rare and special opportunity to lead a firm with such a rich history and global reputation for excellence. And I'm honored to be part of this firm going forward.
I want to start by expressing my gratitude to our clients for their partnership. To my colleagues for the warm welcome and to Peter Orszag and the Lazard Board for their trust and support.
Lazard Asset Management's success is built on the strength of our relationships, the quality of our ideas and the commitment of our people.
While this is a new chapter for me personally, for the firm, our core commitment remains unchanged, delivering investment excellence and putting our clients at the center of everything we do.
A Lazard 2030 growth strategy outlines our path forward and will continue to drive and guide our actions.
Working together, I see immense opportunity to deliver for our clients, enhance the winning culture of our firm, and build on the momentum in our business.
I'm truly energized for the journey ahead, and I look forward to partnering with all of you as we shape the future together.
