BNP Paribas has given senior roles to José Placido and Charles Cock.
Placido will join the executive committee of BNP Paribas Securities Services on 22 April, and will then become global head of sales and relationship management from 1 January 2015.
Cock currently serves as the head of client development and as a senior member of BNP Paribas Securities Services’s executive committee. In January 2015, he will become international vice chairman, a new senior client executive role focused on key customer relationships.
Placido and Cock will co-lead sales and relationship management and will manage client development teams across the bank’s 34 locations around the world until their new roles commence.
Placido has more than 25 years of experience in the securities servicing industry. He previously served as CEO of RBC Dexia. He has also worked as managing director of the RBC UK office and eventually became vice president of RBC Global services in 2003.
Placido will be based in London and will report to Patrick Colle, general manager.
Cock joined the group in 1995 when Paribas bought the J.P. Morgan European clearing and custody network.
Colle has commented on the appointments: “I am delighted to welcome Placido to BNP Paribas. He joins at an important time for our business, which is growing rapidly around the world.”
“Cock will now be instrumental in fostering new senior relationships with our customers. These appointments position us well for future growth, and the transition period will ensure a smooth handover.”
