Meet Craig MacDonald, the accomplished professional who is making a return to higher education after a successful career at a Scottish firm. With a background in philosophy and business administration from the University of Durham and London Business School, MacDonald is well-equipped to take on new challenges in the academic world.

As MacDonald transitions out of his role, he will continue to support the firm as a senior adviser, ensuring a seamless handover until 2025. His departure has prompted changes within the abrdn senior fixed income team, responsible for managing over £130bn in assets.

Jonathan Mondillo is set to take the reins as the new global head of fixed income, while Marianne Zangerl, the current head of ESG, fixed income, will step into the role of deputy. These changes mark an exciting new chapter for the team as they continue to drive success in the world of finance.

Stay tuned for more updates on MacDonald’s journey and the latest developments at abrdn.
