CFA Society New York Announces New CEO

Sameer Jagetia is the new chief executive officer of CFA Society New York (CFANY), a financial services forum and provider of professional education and career development to Wall Street. The group’s previous CEO, Daniel Dagen, stepped down at the end of March. Peter Rush, CEO of Kellen, had been serving as interim CEO since April. The appointment of Mr. Jagetia follows a comprehensive recruitment process led by a CEO search committee that included board and non-board members and Vetted Solutions. “We considered a wide variety of exceptional candidates for this position,” said Carole Crawford, secretary of CFANY’s board of directors. “We knew Sameer was the best individual to lead the organization because of his knowledge of CFANY and the investment community and his leadership in technology and innovation, two driving forces for the industry moving forward.”
