Baird is pleased to announce that Steve Booth has been named CEO effective January 1, 2016. Booth adds the CEO title in addition to his role as President, which he was named in 2014 as part of a multiple-year transition plan. He succeeds Paul Purcell, who will continue as Chairman of the employee-owned international financial services firm.

Booth is only the eighth person to lead the firm since its founding in 1919, a testament to the strong leadership, consistent values and long-term partnerships that have differentiated Baird for more than 95 years.
