IQ-EQ has appointed Bruno Noyon as managing director, France, which serves to support the firm’s strategic focus on expanding its French operations.
This appointment follows a string of new hires in Singapore, Luxembourg, UK and Ireland.
Noyon’s appointment comes at a time of strategic prioritisation and growth for IQ-EQ France, following its 2019 acquisition of Peru & Partners, a Paris-based fund administrator dedicated to the private equity market.
This acquisition added fund administration, CFO services, GP and portfolio company accounting as well as valuation services to the group’s existing French private equity fund management offering.
Noyon has 30 years of experience spanning front, middle and back-office functions in the asset/fund management, market finance, banking and investor services sectors in France.
Prior to IQ-EQ, Noyon spent over 15 years as chief operating officer and senior vice president of the French investment servicing business of a listed, global financial services firm headquartered in the US.
In this role, he drove business transformation, including globalisation, operating model design, offshoring and process improvement, and led an international team of 450 professionals servicing more than €1 trillion in assets.
Commenting on his appointment with IQ-EQ, Noyon said: “IQ-EQ has been enjoying fast-paced growth across the globe and I am excited to be joining the group as it seeks to strengthen its position in France.”
He continued: “France is the fourth largest private equity market in the world, so naturally it is forming a key part of IQ-EQ’s future growth plans. I am keen to hit the ground running and work closely with my new colleagues, both here in France and internationally, to drive the business to continued success.”
Kiran Sinharoy, executive director at IQ-EQ, added: “We now have an extended and highly experienced team in place in France, with the ability to offer a comprehensive range of services and solutions to our growing French client base, and having Noyon at the helm will help us bring the team together and drive continued growth. Given his strong operational leadership credentials and extensive experience within the French funds industry, we believe he brings with him the ideal expertise to transform our French business and help us leverage the huge opportunities that exist for IQ-EQ in France.”
