He previously worked for Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein between 1997 and 2005, as head of foreign exchange and short term rates sales and subsequently as global head of sales and marketing strategy, responsible for the strategic marketing and sales management of the bank’s capital markets client business.

His appointment is further evidence of our commitment to the institutional arena, which represents a significant area of growth and development for our business.’
