Global Prime Partners (GPP) has made a spate of new senior hires, including appointing Mike Ward as head of new business development, ahead of the launch of its new structures products business.

With Ward heading up the new business, Matt Robinson will join the firm as head of structured sales, and Ross Trotman will be the new head of structuring.

Ward joins GPP from Nomura, where he was co-head of equities for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). Before this, he was head of equity sales for EMEA at Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

The new division, scheduled to launch for UK onshore clients in 2017, is intended to give users access to better issuers of structured products, using tailored technology and customer service.

Robinson brings more than 25 years of experience in working with UK onshore clients in derivatives-based structures securities and funds, most recently working at Catley Lakeman.

Trotman joins from Hartmoor, a structured product provider. In his new role, he will work on building GPP’s product suite, processes and proprietary technology.

Julian Parker, CEO of GPP, said: “We have seen record growth this year and are well positioned to broaden our product lines and customer base.”

“Structured products complement our existing execution, clearing, custody and prime brokerage businesses and will leverage off our client service infrastructure. We are delighted that individuals of the calibre of Mike, Matt and Ross have been attracted to the exciting opportunities offered at GPP.”
