Head of Global Delivery and COO of Investment Services
State Street
As businesses increasingly employ artificial intelligence (AI), Ann Fogarty is studying agentic AI through a Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) course, to learn how to write prompts and otherwise optimize its use.
"I want to really understand the opportunities there," she said.
Fogarty leads the global delivery of State Street's investment services, the firm's largest business unit. In July 2025, she was appointed chief operating officer of investment services, with a remit to align expertise from across State Street to address challenges and develop solutions. (American Banker's methodology requires that a woman be in her role for at least one year, so Fogarty is ranked based on her performance as head of global delivery, not her current position as COO of investment services.)
