MILWAUKEE, March 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Artisan Partners Asset Management Inc. (NYSE: APAM, the “Company”) announced today the appointment of Jason Gottlieb, current President of the Company, to succeed Eric Colson as Chief Executive Officer, and the appointment of Mr. Colson as Executive Chair of the Company, each effective following the Company’s 2025 annual meeting of stockholders on June 4, 2025. At that time, it is expected that Mr. Gottlieb will be elected to the Company’s Board of Directors, and Mr. Colson will become Chair of the Board, assuming the role from Stephanie DiMarco who will transition to Lead Independent Director.

Mr. Gottlieb joined Artisan Partners in October 2016 as a Managing Director of Investment Operations. He was promoted to Chief Operating Officer of Investments and Executive Vice President in February 2017 and President in January 2021. Prior to joining the firm, Mr. Gottlieb was a partner and managing director at Goldman Sachs where he was a leader in Goldman Sachs’ Alternative Investment & Manager Selection Group and a portfolio manager on the Goldman Sachs Multi-Manager Alternatives Fund.

Mr. Colson said, “Appointing Jason as CEO is the culmination of our long-term leadership succession plan and the natural evolution of his current responsibilities. Given his proven track record of leadership and management along with his strategic contributions to the Company over time, our Board of Directors and I have tremendous confidence in Jason’s ability to lead Artisan. I look forward to my continued partnership with Jason and the senior management team in my new role as an active and engaged Executive Chair.”

“I am honored to have the opportunity to lead this world-class investment organization, further expand our multi-asset investment platform and drive the growth of our business,” added Mr. Gottlieb. “We believe we are well positioned to seize the right opportunities to grow our business and continue to deliver successful outcomes for our clients, employees and shareholders.”
