The Securities Services business of BNP Paribas has appointed Laurent Durdilly into three leadership roles, including head of Luxembourg, Ireland, and the Channel Islands for Securities Services, head of Luxembourg for Corporate and Institutional Banking (CIB), and CEO of BNP Paribas SA Luxembourg Branch.
In his Securities Services role, Durdilly leads the business line’s growth strategy in selected international fund markets, and ensures operational excellence across Luxembourg, Ireland, and the Channel Islands.
Within BNP Paribas CIB, and as CEO of the Luxembourg branch, Durdilly focuses on strengthening collaboration between CIB’s businesses and the broader BNP Paribas Group, while reinforcing its risk and conduct governance.
Durdilly brings over 30 years’ market experience, specialising in mergers and acquisitions, and core projects across the asset management and securities services industries.
Since joining BNP Paribas in 2018 as head of Private Capital for Securities Services, he has spearheaded an ambitious growth programme and expanded Securities Services’ market share in the private capital sector.
Prior to BNP Paribas, Durdilly also held several senior positions at CACEIS, including head of private equity real estate securitisation.
Karine Litou succeeds Durdilly’s role as head of private capital for Securities Services.
Based in Paris, she will continue to drive the commercial growth roadmap of the private capital franchise.
She joined BNP Paribas in 2018 with over 20 years of industry experience and has served as deputy head of private capital for Securities Services since 2021.
For the Channel Islands, BNP Paribas also appointed Jo Brimble as head of Channel Islands for Securities Services and head of BNP Paribas Channel Islands Branch.
Based in Jersey, Brimble reports to both Durdilly and Botchev.
Alessandro Gioffreda, head of client coverage and territories, Securities Services, BNP Paribas, comments: “Laurent’s appointment to this leadership role in Luxembourg underscores our commitment to this thriving market, where private capital is a key segment of its investment landscape.
“Building on his proven success in positioning Securities Services as a European leader in this sector, Laurent will play a key role in driving our next phase of growth in the region and across international markets.”
Philippe Benoit, head of strategic business development and transformation, Securities Services, BNP Paribas, adds: “Karine’s leadership and industry insights have been instrumental in shaping our private capital capabilities. We are confident that her continuing contributions will further accelerate our growth momentum.”
