Witkos Gains a Bigger Role at Eaton Vance

Reported by Armie Margaret Lee

Eaton Vance Distributors' president now has a bigger job. Matt Witkos, who has led retail distribution in the Americas since 2007, is now in charge of distribution across all channels globally.

Meanwhile, the Boston-based firm hired Scott Ruddick as head of institutional. Ruddick will lead business development, consultant relations and client service in the retirement plan and endowment and foundation markets in the U.S. and Canada.
