Calamos Promotes RIA Sales Lead Kiley to Head Distribution

Calamos Investments announced the promotion of Thomas Kiley, who was recruited from BlackRock in April to lead the Chicago-based RIA’s sales efforts, to the title of chief distribution officer and a seat on the firm’s CEO executive team, reporting directly to CEO John Koudounis.

In the elevated role, Kiley will oversee investment product distribution across all of the firm’s channels. Prior to his time at Calamos, Kiley was at BlackRock for nearly two decades, most recently leading a dedicated team responsible for its RIA channel. He replaces Robert Behan in helming distribution for Calamos.

The firm also announced the recruitment of a trio of new executives: Thomas Leahy joins from BlackRock as director of RIA internal sales, Simon Rebbechi joins from UBS Securities as an investment consultant for sustainable strategies, and Hans Williams will work in ETF sales, joining from Goldman Sachs.
