October 2025
Honoring our client experience champions
October is Client Experience (CX) Month at State Street — dedicated to recognizing the outstanding contributions of our people on behalf of clients, and celebrating their commitment to achieving client excellence every day.
Joerg Ambrosius
President of Investment Services, State Street
CX Day is a global celebration held annually on the first Tuesday of October to recognize the importance of delivering exceptional client experiences and to honor the professionals who make it happen. At State Street, client experience isn’t confined to one day, one department or one location: It’s a mindset that runs through every team and role, every day. Whether we’re building smarter tools, anticipating needs or navigating challenges, it’s our client-centricity that sets us apart and continues to make State Street a trusted partner worldwide.
As we celebrate not just CX Day but CX Month at State Street, I would like to thank our clients for their partnership and trust, as well as our employees for their commitment, creativity and drive. Our people are the reason State Street continues to exceed expectations and deliver excellence for our clients.
CX Month is about recognizing our clients, as well as those who go above and beyond to delight them. We’re celebrating the winners of our 2025 Excellence in Client Experience Awards, honoring individual employees and teams from North America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), and Asia Pacific who exemplify innovation, dedication and collaboration in service to our clients. These colleagues set the bar for what’s possible, inspiring us all to reach higher.
