Glass Lewis further expands presence in Southern Europe with addition of new regional sales leader and transition of Alembeeks’ clients to the Glass Lewis proxy voting and research platform.
San Francisco (Nov 11, 2021) – Glass Lewis, a leading global provider of global governance solutions, today announced it has entered into an agreement with Alembeeks, a corporate governance and technology company based in Spain, to provide global proxy voting and stewardship solutions to its clients. Alex Bardaji, currently Director at Alembeeks, will also be joining Glass Lewis to lead the Southern European region. In his new role, Alex will be focused on overseeing the rapidly expanding Glass Lewis client base in Southern Europe in addition to the transition of Alembeeks’ clients to the Glass Lewis global proxy voting and research platform.
“We are excited to add the expertise of Alembeeks and to have a local presence in the region to support the growing need for ESG solutions in Spain and more broadly, Southern Europe,” said Kevin Cameron, CEO of Glass Lewis. “We look forward to working closely with Alembeeks to facilitate a smooth client transition. Alex brings deep governance experience and regional expertise to the team. We are eager to address the needs of both our new and existing clients in a fast-evolving landscape where ESG-focused initiatives are top of mind.”
“We are extremely pleased with this agreement,” said Carlos Alberto Morales, Director at Alembeeks and CEO of Adepa Global Services (an institutional investor in Alembeeks). “We have always prioritized the needs of our clients and know that the addition of the Glass Lewis product offering, which provides the most detailed and timely global proxy research in the market today, will be extremely well received in our market.”
With this transition, Alembeeks will no longer provide proxy voting or advisory services after the end of this year. Additionally, the ongoing expansion of Glass Lewis’ European presence complements the continued focus on addressing the specific needs of European clients as ESG related regulations such as SFDR are implemented.
