BNP Paribas Securities Services has confirmed that Charles Cock and José Placido have both started their new roles as vice chairman international and global head of client development, respectively.
The appointments were announced in April 2014 and became effective in January after a transition period during which Cock and Placido together ran the client development function at BNP Paribas Securities Services.
Cock is focusing on the bank’s relationships with key customers globally. He joined the group in 1995, heading up client development for securities services.
Placido now leads the client development function. Head of global client segments, regional managers and marketing and communications teams report to him.
Before joining BNP Paribas Securities Services, he was CEO of RBC Dexia Investor Services.
Patrick Colle, general manager of BNP Paribas Securities Services, commented: “Their experience positions us well for the future as we continue to help our clients adapt to an ever more competitive and regulated environment, expand their global reach and increase operational efficiency.”
