BNP Paribas Securities Services has appointed Peter Baker to the newly created role of head of client strategy and communications to increase the firm’s engagement with fund managers in the Australian market.
Baker who was previously head of asset manager client relationships at the firm, will be responsible for developing client and consultant relationships, and ensuring the business is closely following long-term clients requirements.
He will report to Pierre Jond, managing director of BNP Paribas Securities Services Australia and New Zealand.
Relationship management for existing asset owner and asset manager clients will be restructured under the new role of head of relationship management. Katharine Seymour, formerly head of asset owner clients, will be promoted to this role.
Jond said: “Streamlining our relationship management function will allow us to maintain our focus on asset owner and asset manager clients, while sharing best practice and a consistent standard of service and client care between both. Bolstering our business development resources will help us to win new business.”
