US data analytics firm Refinitiv has hired Jeroen Bakker as an account manager for Dutch financial institutions across all Refinitiv products.
Based in Amsterdam, Bakker has spent the past year as the Benelux consulting lead for Pierpoint Financial Consulting, focusing on securities finance and collateral management advisory services.
Before that, he offered consulting services through his own firm, Ampalo, for two years.
He also offers experience with HSBC where he spent just under eight years as director, marketing and exclusives manager within its securities lending and prime finance division.
Bakker joins Refinitiv shortly before it is expected to be acquired by the London Stock Exchange Group in a landmark deal set to significantly bolster the exchange’s data services.
Refinitiv is among the largest financial markets data and infrastructure providers, serving more than 40,000 institutions in 190 countries.
Pierpoint practice lead Roy Zimmerhansl says Bakker was an “excellent member of the team, often bringing a different perspective on issues to our clients and his blog posts were very well received by readers. We wish both Jeroen and Refinitiv well.”
Meanwhile, Pierpoint is on the verge of launching the Pierpoint Alpha Community (PAC) which aims to create a community of people that want to further their securities finance knowledge, experience and contacts.
“We have shown with our blogs, podcasts and livestreaming that we deliver high-quality timely content and can leverage our network to bring expert commentary from others in the community and related areas,” Zimmerhansl tells SFT.
“The pandemic has shown the value of building knowledge and networks and we are taking it to the next level with this unique offering,” he adds.
According to Zimmerhansl, PAC has garnered significant interest in the build-up to launch and several firms are sponsoring staff to be members.
