BNP Paribas Securities Services has enhanced its existing U.K. client development team for institutional investors with four new hires.
Sid Newby joins as head of pension fund sales from BNY Mellon, where he focused on pension fund strategy and management. His role will be to accelerate the momentum that BNP Paribas built in 2013 in winning mandates from UK pension funds.
Felix Schachter is appointed head of insurance company sales to develop BNP Paribas’ UK insurance business. He joins from Aon where he led the European insurance practice for McLagan, Aon’s financial services management consultancy.
Aïda Molineux is appointed head of client service. Molineux joins from EY (formerly known as Ernst & Young), where she helped clients deal with regulatory change and the emerging risk landscape in Europe as a management consultant.
Ben Williams-Thomas is appointed sales manager for information solutions. He will be in charge of promoting BNP Paribas’ new reporting interfaces for its DNA reporting tool. The interfaces will allow clients to monitor risk and identify trends in fund distribution. Williams-Thomas previously worked at J.P. Morgan and Northern Trust.
The four report to head of sales and relationship management for institutional investors, Annalisa Winge Bicknell. Bicknell says, “Our ambition to target UK pensions and insurance firms has already seen impressive success. We won several significant mandates last year and are looking to rapidly grow our market share in 2014. Sid, Felix and Ben will drive us forward in winning more mandates, while Aïda, working in close conjunction with our specialist relationship team, will ensure the highest quality of service delivery for all our clients.”
