BNY Mellon clearance and collateral management product strategy head Simon Squire has joined the board of directors at HQLAᵡ.
Squire, based in London, joined the Luxembourg-based firm’s board last month and will sit alongside HQLAᵡ co-founder and chair Guido Stroemer.
Squire brings experience from more than a decade at Goldman Sachs before joining BNY Mellon in 2017, where he has spent three years working in clearance and collateral management.
At Goldman Sachs, Squire assumed various leadership roles in the firm, as vice president and executive director, leading the way in diverse areas such as Liquidity & Treasury Operations Business Architecture, Tri-party and funding operations and funding efficiency.
Squire started his career as an analyst, with stints at data analytics company Nielsen and advertising giant Ogilvy between 2003 and 2006.
HQLAᵡ recently secured €14.4 million in funding from BNY Mellon and Goldman Sachs as well as BNP Paribas Securities Services, Citigroup and existing shareholder Deutsche Boerse.
Also on the board are Deutsche Boerse’s Jens Hachmeister, R3’s David Rutter and Eric Deudon from BNP Paribas, among others.
