I have known Angel for over twenty years and worked with him directly or indirectly for most of his career at Northern Trust until I retired as Chief Operating Officer in 2018.

In my thirty eight year career, Angel stands out as a trusted colleague who could be consistently relied upon to do the right thing for all stakeholders. He always placed clients, company and colleagues above his own self interest.

He is an inclusive manager and developer of diverse talent with a truly global mindset who contributed significantly to the development of successful operations in India as well as the Hiring Our Heroes Program in Arizona.

Angel embraces change, has the courage to innovate and challenges historic processes to improve results. Rather than cutting costs short term, Angel repeatedly found sustainable ways to reduce spend while increasing Client service quality and opportunities for employee development.

As a charismatic but knowledgeable, principled and hard working leader, Angel naturally creates strong followership. He would be an asset to any team.

Open letter of recommendation

As a former employee of the Northern Trust company, a 35 year veteran that held various leadership positions, I am pleased to provide this open letter of recommendation for Angel Arroyo.

Ángel Arroyo worked for me for in various capacities when I transferred to operations in 2004 to headed the Globe Client Accounting Practice for the Northern Trust Company.

In 2004 Angel was section manager of the manager sign-off team. In 2006 he successfully lead the migration of the process to India. In 2007 Angel was promoted to Division Manager of one of the accounting teams overseeing one of the banks largest relationship. In 2008 Angel moved to India to establish and oversee the Client Accounting Practice in the region. The team grew from a hand full of employees to hundreds by the time he returned to the states in 2012. Upon his return Angel was put in charge of the UVRS group, a group responsible for striking daily NAV’s that was not only highly technical it came with high financial exposure in the event of a failure. In 2015 Angel and his family moved to Arizona to help us establish a new office and was named Head of Operation in Tempe AZ.

Angel’s career shows the versatility and ability he has to excel in any situations - defined or not - with or without constant direct supervision. He can be thrown in any situation and he will figure it out.

Traits that stood out were his work ethics, positive outlook, ability to think out of the box.

Angel is a quick learner, dedicated employee and teacher that cares and develops staff in a respectful thoughtful manner. Angel is a dependable, loyal, hard working individual. He would be an asset to anyone he works for. Angel is a true leader in every respect.

To get the maximum out of Angel you give him an opportunity and / or problem and you let him run with it, you don’t give him a to do list and limit his drive and / or creative thinking.

If I were in the market place looking for a multi talented / versatile individual Angel would be on my short list.

Michael Murphy

Senior Vice President at The Northern Trust

I have worked with Angel in various capacities over the last 16 years. He is an energetic leader that thinks outside the box. He has a strong operational mindset with the strategic vision to constantly improve the efficiency of a function. His greatest trait is his ability to listen to others for suggestions. He is not afraid to take calculated risks to completely change a process and reinvent a more streamlined product. Angel encourages others to develop new ideas. He will help guide individuals through the buildout and provide valuable insight to his team, so the team is thinking holistically as they achieve the desired results.

Through the years, Angel has completed many migrations globally. He spent two years providing local overnight and project management in out London office. He the lead the build out of Northern’s India captive group. He spent 4 years as the accounting head and built a team of almost 300 partners in Bangalore. He was a key resource for me and helped raise the bar on the servicing of our clients in India. His ability to motivate the staff and get the staff to think differently, helped drive the process to new levels. Angel also spent the last 6 years establishing our operations center in Arizona. He paved the way for others like myself, when I was moving functions to this location. As a senior leader in Arizona, he not only kept an eye on my staff but mentored many of them as well.

Angel would make a great addition to any leadership team. He would bring a high level of engagement to not only the staff but his peers as well. He will be able to provide a candid viewpoint to a management team and build a world class group that works as a cohesive unit.

Executive Vice President, Northern Trust Company, London

I’ve known Angel for some 15 years since he arrived in India to establish and lead a fledgling accounting team. He succeeded at both. A hands on manager and leader. At times a little unconventional, but in a good way. He has never been one to look for an easy life. Intellectually curious and with a strong results focussed work ethic. He asks a lot of his people, but his management style and personality translate to mean that his staff will always go the distance for him.I would have no hesitation in recommending Angel to a future employer, whether in the securities and banking arena or elsewhere. Passionate, committed, knowledgeable leaders possess skills that transcend companies and industries.

Senior Vice President (Reconciliations) at Statestreet Services

Angel is an outstanding person and a leader, I worked under his supervision for a good portion of my 14 years at Northern Trust.

I have looked-up to Angel for his creativity, business acumen and operational discipline. He always ran a tight ship with complete command and control. Managing finances/budgets for the group was another thing that was there on top of the list for Angel.

Angel is a compassionate leader. There have been situations in my career in which my learning could have gone into a completely different direction if it was not for Angel. He supported me at those critical junctures in my career. He didn’t manage with perception and rather looked into the issue on its merit which made it easy to talk to him.

More than a manager, Angel has been a mentor and a sponsor for me.

His positive energy and attitude are infectious and are another hallmark that sets Angel apart among his peers. He’s truly a wonderful asset who would bring great value to any team.
