Franklin Templeton appointed Daniel Gamba as a new commercial director, in force on October 15, 2025.
Gamba will be responsible for supervision of sales, marketing and global products strategy and will be based in New York.
He will fall directly from Jenny Johnson, CEO of Franklin Templeton, and will also join the company’s executive committee.
Johnson said: “I am excited that Daniel joined our company in this central role at a time when we see growth in our business. Daniel is a largely respected leader in industry and provides vast experience, which includes work in various geographies and asset classes, including public and private markets.
“Daniel’s expertise aligns perfectly with our mission, our culture and our future to come, and I am convinced that under its direction, we will strengthen sales, marketing, product development and customer experience to provide the best possible investment results for our customers.”
Franklin Templeton also announced that Gamba, with Terrence Murphy, head of public market investments, and Matthew Nicholls, financial and operational director, will assume the roles of co-presenters on the same date.
The trio will collaborate closely with Johnson and the board of directors to continue to execute the long -term plans of the company.
Gamba succeeds Adam Spector, who has gone to the role of CEO at Fiduciary Trust International.
Gamba brings 25 years of experience to Franklin Templeton, having previously been president of the Northern Trust asset management activity, where he managed more than 1.3 TN of assets.
Its leadership at Northern Trust included conducting organic growth, improving margins and acceleration of innovation in various markets.
Before that, Gamba’s mandate of more than two decades in Blackrock saw him direct investments, research, distribution and product teams.
Gamba said: “It’s a good time for me to join Franklin Templeton and support his journey by becoming the main asset manager in the world to help customers overcome current and future investment needs.
“I can’t wait to work with Jenny, Matthew and Terrence and the rest of the management team to support the acceleration of this progress.”
Franklin Templeton has actively expanded his investment capacities to serve a diverse range of customers worldwide.
Thanks to organic growth and strategic acquisitions, the company has expanded its offers to include alternative assets, ETFs and personalized solutions such as canvas, as well as to extend its presence in the retirement and insurance sectors.
