The Maples Group has appointed Edwin Parker as director of business development for its fund services business in Europe.
Based in London, Parker will work with Christina McCarthy, regional head of fund services, Europe to drive the growth of the fund services business across the region, as well as working closely with colleagues across the Maples Group globally.
Parker brings more than two decades of experience working with alternative and institutional asset managers and asset owners across Europe, as well as knowledge of front- and back-office services and systems.
Most recently, Parker served as managing director for a global investment management and investment services provider.
The addition of Parker comes after continued growth of the Maples Group’s fund services business.
McCarthy said: "An ever-evolving regulatory and investor landscape is putting more pressure than ever before on fund managers to optimise their operational processes and we remain committed to evolving our service offering to address their needs.”
She added: “We continue to see significant demand for our fund services offering in Europe and are confident that our broad capabilities which include the design and delivery of innovative solutions, coupled with Edwin Parkers’ experience and expertise will be highly advantageous to our ongoing efforts."
