BNP Paribas has hired Sofie Strandberg and Steve Payne as business development managers for Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden, extending its securities services capabilities to Nordic institutional investors.
The colleagues will be based in Stockholm, where they will report to the regional head of sales and relationship management for institutional investors in London, Annalisa Winge Bicknell.
Payne has experience in sales and relationship management for asset owners and alternative funds in the Asia Pacific and the UK. He previously worked for BNP Paribas in its London office, but is now based in Stockholm.
Strandberg has 24 years of experience in the Nordic region where she worked at Citi as head of securities and fund services for Sweden, based in Stockholm.
“I am pleased to have such an experienced team on the ground,” said Patrick Colle, general manager of BNP Paribas Securities Services.
“This will boost our local market expertise and enable us to better understand the specific requirements of local institutional investors.”
