Deutsche Bank has confirmed that Nicholas Bone has been appointed to the newly created role of head of sales, UK, Middle East and Africa for Securities Services.
As head of sales, Bone will be responsible for distributing custody, clearing and fund services products across the relevant regions.
The appointment marks Bone’s return to the global bank — he previously worked there from 2000 to 2001 in a fixed income and repo operations role.
Bone has strong experience in digital asset servicing and financial technology, having been founder and chief executive of distributed ledger-based fintech startup EquiChain.
He most recently served at Delta Capita where he was responsible for promoting business expansion across the company’s post-trade services area, with a focus on client engagement and development.
Before Delta Capita, he was senior vice president for business development for financial institutions at Brown Brothers Harriman.
Prior to this, he was global head of investment banks and broker-dealers in Standard Chartered’s transaction banking division.
Earlier in his career, Bone spent seven years in network management at the Bank of New York Mellon.
Commenting on the appointment, Paul Maley, global head of securities services at Deutsche Bank, says: “It speaks highly of our value proposition that we continue to attract such talent and we look forward to using all of Nick’s experience to accelerate our growth across the UK, Middle East and Africa regions.”
