Prime brokerage boutique, Global Prime Partners (GPP), has expanded its European sales team with the appointment of Colin Bridges.
Bridges will work closely with Kevin LoPrimo, head of hedge fund services at GPP, to dvelop and support the firm’s growing list of prime brokerage clients across Europe.
Prior to joining BPP, Bridges spent five years at BNP Paribas working on the equity-financing desk.
Julian Parker, CEO of GPP, said: "Bridges brings much needed sales support to GPP at a time of above average growth in the smaller hedge fund space. His experience and background are very relevant to the emerging managers arena and we are extremely pleased to be able to welcome him to [the firm]."
Commenting on his appointment Bridges, added: "GPP's dynamic management has delivered outstanding growth in the past few years. I am excited to be joining a firm that is so clearly and strongly establishing its footprint in the European prime brokerage market."
