The position had remained vacant since the departure of Ki Myung Hong in early 2013. In his new role, Mogelof will be responsible for Pimco offices in Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney and Tokyo, and will report directly to Douglas Hodge, managing director and CEO of the asset management firm. Mogelof has been working at Pimco since 2003, and worked previously as head for institutionals in the Americas region and as head of Pimco advisory. His transfer from New York to Hong Kong, where he will be now based, will be effective from next month. Before joining Pimco, Mogelof, who has a total of 17 years of experience in the financial industry, worked at Salomon Brothers and Jupiter Partners. Pimco has also announced that it has recruited Adrian Stewart as executive vice chairman and director of Pimco Australia. He will begin in his new role in August, and will report to Mogelof. Stewart, who has 22 years of experience in financial services, had previously been director of distribution and marketing at the Australian Macquarie Group Limited.
