William H. Barnes was named a senior vice president in institutional distribution at Neuberger Berman, focused on public funds, confirmed spokesman Richard Chimberg.
He replaces Tamara Doi Aoyagi, who left the company to join Lee Munder Capital as director of business development for the West Coast/Rocky Mountains, said Greg Mulready, director of sales, marketing and client service at Lee Munder.
Mr. Barnes comes to Neuberger from Janus Capital Group, where he served as a vice president and head of the public funds group. Janus spokesman James Aber said Mr. Barnes' responsibilities have been assumed by other members of the firm's public funds team.
