AMG Names Thomas M. Wojcik as President and Chief Operating Officer

WEST PALM BEACH, FL, June 3, 2025 AMG, a strategic partner to leading independent investment management firms globally, today announced the appointment of Thomas M. Wojcik as President, effective June 3, 2025. Mr. Wojcik will also continue to serve as Chief Operating Officer. Jay C. Horgen, previously President and Chief Executive Officer, will continue as Chief Executive Officer. In his expanded role, Mr. Wojcik will continue to work with Mr. Horgen on developing and executing AMG’s growth strategy. Mr. Wojcik joined the Company in 2019, serving as Chief Financial Officer from 2019 through 2024, and was named Chief Operating Officer in 2024. He will continue to report to Mr. Horgen.

“Since Tom joined 6 years ago, AMG has evolved meaningfully as we have focused on expanding our participation in secular growth areas,” said Mr. Horgen. “Through growth investments in both new and existing Affiliates, we have increased our exposure to private markets and liquid alternative strategies, which now contribute half of our earnings. By investing our capital and resources in forming partnerships with outstanding new Affiliates as well as alongside our existing Affiliates to develop innovative solutions for clients, we are magnifying AMG’s and our Affiliates’ future success – and as an integral member of our executive team, Tom has played an instrumental role in the development of our strategy and its execution across all of these fronts over the years. Tom’s leadership and wide range of contributions over this period have furthered AMG’s strategic success and cultural evolution as an organization. I am grateful for Tom’s many contributions so far and all of those to come, and together we look forward to leveraging the strength of our outstanding team as we continue to execute on AMG’s unique opportunity set.”

Mr. Wojcik joined AMG in 2019 from BlackRock, Inc., where he held a number of leadership roles over nearly a decade, including Global Head of Corporate Development and Investor Relations, Head of Strategy for the Americas and EMEA (Europe, Middle East, and Africa), and Chief Financial Officer for EMEA. Prior to joining BlackRock, Mr. Wojcik held investment roles at several independent partner-owned alternative asset managers. He began his career in investment banking in the Financial Institutions Group at Merrill Lynch & Co. and earned a B.A. from Duke University, and an M.B.A. from The Wharton School.
