Societe Generale Securities Services (SGSS) has strengthened its client coverage team with the appointment of Stewart Gladstone and Steve Gutowski.
Gladstone will take on a new role as head of segment and solutions for banks and financial intermediaries, leading the strategy, sales and relationship management of new and existing global banking and financial intermediary clients.
He joined SGSS in 2006 and was responsible for corporate actions within the clearing services business in the UK. In 2009, he became operations manager for global custody in London before moving to the emerging markets sales and relationship management team in 2012.
Prior to SGSS, he held various operational positions at Fidelity Brokerage, Lloyds TSB Securities Services, Tokyo Mitsubishi International and Nomura International.
Meanwhile, Steve Gutowski will take on the newly created role of director of sales and relationship management for broker dealers. He will be responsible for driving new business and sales of SGSS’ solutions, primarily clearing and settlement services, for global broker dealers.
Gutowski joined SGSS in December 2017 to lead the strategic direction of the product and solutions group within SGSS UK for the broker dealer segment.
Before SGSS, Gutowski was a senior product manager at BNY Mellon, responsible for clearing, settlement and custody solutions.
Based in London, both Gladstone and Gutowski will report locally to Matt Davey, head of coverage, marketing and solutions for SGSS UK and functionally to Gildas Le Treut, global head of sales and relationship management for SGSS.
Commenting on the appointments, Davey said: “I am delighted to welcome Stewart Gladstone and Steve Gutowski to their new roles. They bring over 39 years of combined experience and established track records in delivering clearing, settlement, custody and cash solutions, for the benefit of our clients.”
He added: “Their extensive expertise in the industry, as well as their deep knowledge of SGSS, will be instrumental in further strengthening our commitment to these client segments, leveraging on our innovation, efficiency and technology capabilities.”
