Newedge has approved the appointment of Franoise Guillaume as Global COO and Deputy CEO.
Based in Paris, Guillaume will also participate as a member of the Newedge Executive Committee.
Guillaume joins Newedge from Socit Gnrale where she worked in a range of senior leadership roles over the past 20 years, most recently serving as CFO for SG Group Management Resources. Previously, she worked as managing director of short term rates for Socit Gnrale Asset Management and deputy director of fixed income and money market.
IT, operations, e-solutions, human resources, finance, risk and sales facilitation will report directly to Guillaume. She will also be responsible for ensuring the strategic alignment of these groups with the goals of the firm, coordinating cross-function initiatives and supporting Business Line activity. The new position is a significant step forward in the ongoing consolidation of Newedge’s support and control functions.
As we continue to develop our four Business Lines, it is essential for us to maintain and build our competitive advantage through flawless execution in all of our support and control teams, especially from a technology and regulatory standpoint, Nicolas Breteau, Newedge CEO, says. Franoise’s appointment and the new reporting structure will help us achieve this objective.
