SWIFT has named Fabian Vandenreydt head of securities and treasury markets, reporting to Gottfried Leibbrandt, head of marketing.
Vandenreydt will work closely with Chris Church, global head of securities at SWIFT, to support the overall growth of the securities business at the cooperative. In this capacity, he will focus on the development and delivery of value-added solutions to investment managers, brokers, central securities depositories (CSDs) and asset servicers.
The securities market is a very strategic and active area for SWIFT, Leibbrandt says. Fabians understanding of the global securities market coupled with his extensive SWIFT background make him a perfect fit to lead a team that will deliver new levels of value to the securities industry.
Vandenreydt will also look at expanding SWIFTs scope in trade matching, in the areas of FX, equities, fixed income and commodities. In addition, he will lead initiatives targeted at the reference data space. Previously Vandenreydt was head of product management at SWIFT.
Separately, SWIFT recently named Brett Lancaster as managing director of securities initiatives for the Americas Americas. Lancaster joined from The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) where he was vice president of the global corporate actions business unit.
Lancaster has responsibility for driving securities initiatives in the Americas, such as corporate actions, collateral management and electronic trade confirmation messaging solutions. He reports to Church.
