Christian Goossens has been appointed as director, head funds issuers and asset owners at Euroclear Bank.
In this role, Goossens will lead Euroclear Bank’s new unit within its commercial division, which focuses on fund issuers and asset owners within Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA).
Euroclear explained the new unit has been set up in response to increased inflows into mutual, alternative and money market funds as well as exchange-traded products within the global funds industry.
The increase has resulted in a need to have a closer dialogue with funds issuers to enable easy and global access to the investor community while also removing the operational burden from the settlement process and increasing the need for true automation, according to Euroclear.
Goossens will continue to report to Bernard Ferran, general Manager, EMEA and the Commonwealth of Independent States.
He began his career at Euroclear in 1988 and most recently served as director, sales, relationship and account management, Europe.
