Global X ETFs, the New York-based provider of exchange-traded funds (ETFs), today announced that Chief Executive Officer Luis Berruga has decided to step down from his role following 10 years with the firm. Thomas Park, the Co-Chief Executive Officer of Mirae Asset Global Investments (USA), an affiliate of the parent company of Global X, will lead the firm on an interim basis while it conducts a search for Luis’ permanent replacement. Mr. Park has been a board member of Global X since Mirae Asset acquired the company in 2018.
Mr. Berruga joined Global X in 2014 as Chief Operating Officer and was named CEO in 2018. Under his leadership, Global X’s AUM has grown to $39 billion and its market share has nearly doubled.
“I’m incredibly proud of everything we’ve accomplished at Global X and leave knowing that we’ve built something incredibly special,” said Mr. Berruga. “I feel extremely fortunate to have played a part in the development of such an impactful ETF franchise and I want to thank our amazing team and Mirae Asset for helping to build a wonderful firm. I know this team will continue to deliver a tremendous impact to our clients in the years to come.”
Added Mr. Park, “On behalf of everyone at Global X and Mirae Asset, I want to thank Luis for his leadership and dedication to the firm. Luis helped build Global X into one of the most innovative and admired ETF issuers in the world. He brought excitement and an entrepreneurial spirit to his work – and in doing so – created a passionate workplace. We are grateful to Luis for the legacy he has created and wish him the best in his next chapter.”
