BNP Paribas Securities Services has appointed Iain Martin as head of New Zealand.
Based in Wellington, Martin will report directly to David Banks, acting head of securities services in Australia and New Zealand.
In this role, Martin will lead the firm's business in New Zealand, serving a majority of the large KiwiSaver asset managers in the country.
Since joining the organisation in 2003, Martin has fulfilled a number of senior operational and client service roles, and was most recently head of relationship management and sales.
Speaking on the announcement, Banks comments: ‘We are pleased to have someone of Iain’s calibre to lead and continue to grow our successful New Zealand business.
“Iain has a strong reputation and connections in the market and an excellent understanding of our business having worked in operational and client facing roles during his 19 years with BNP Paribas Securities Services.”
Martin replaces Doug Cameron, who has provided 20 years of service to the organisation and led the New Zealand business over the last eight years.
Addressing the departure, Banks adds: “We are grateful for Doug’s positive contribution to the organisation where, among his achievements, he has developed a great client-centric team and we wish him well for the future.”
