SocGen boosts buy-side sales team

Societe Generale Securities Services (SGSS) has appointed Olivier Aprile as head of institutional sales for asset managers and institutional investors.

Based in Paris, Aprile will report to SGSS’ head of sales in France, Jean-Francois Marchand.

In his new role, Aprile will be responsible for commercial development and business relations with investor clients in France.

Prior to his current appointment, Aprille served as head of sales for a client base of management companies, insures mutual funds and pension funds at Caceis.

“The structural and organisational changes progressively required by regulators, like the Solvency II Directive, are pushing institutional investors to review their business organisations,” said Marchand.

“Olivier Aprile will play an important role in accompanying clients in analysing their businesses to determine where outsourcing solutions would best fit their needs to enable them to achieve their target operational model.”
