Brown Brothers Harriman (BBH) has hired four executives to its EMEA securities lending team. David Lewis, Jacqueline Waller, Cline Emond and Samantha will focus on relationship management and business in EMEA.
Lewis has fifteen years of securities lending experience, most recently at J.P.Morgan where he was responsible for relationship management of securities lending clients in the EMEA region.
Waller joins BBH having spent fourteen years in a range of senior roles in Northern Trust’s securities lending business including trading, relationship management and business development.
Emond has spent the past six years in BBH’s Luxembourg office, covering the firm’s Investor Services relationships with Dutch, Belgian and French clients.
Peppiatt joins securities lending from BBHs Investor Services business where she has worked as a Relationship Manager for the past four years.
“The shift in beneficial owner sentiment towards customised, intrinsic value lending programs is leading to significant new business for our program across regions. Our EMEA business in particular has grown significantly in recent months as beneficial owners move into our program from exclusive arrangements and other agent lending programs,” said Keith Haberlin, Head of BBH’s Securities Lending business for Europe & the Middle East.
