Natixis has appointed six new employees to its global markets team in Asia Pacific (APAC), which it says will directly support the growth of its corporate and investment banking business in the region.
Of the hires, APAC head of global markets Viet Linh Ha Thuc says: “China and Japan are key geographies for our global markets business and these new appointments to bolster our sales teams will allow us to deepen our client dialogue and enhance our focused development of new activities and products.”
The six hires are Michael Man, Eddison An, Marcus Teng and Jason Lee in China and Hiroshi Hara and Satoshi Harada in Japan.
Man, in particular, will help to boost the firm’s securities finance business in the region, with his more than 10 years’ experience in prime services and securities finance, across sales trading, relationship management, and business development.
Man has joined Natixis in Hong Kong, heading up global markets sales, and will be responsible for the global securities financing (GSF) fixed income business, with a particular focus on supporting all interbank business cross-asset products. He will also assist in the development of the GSF equity franchise in the region.
He reports to Eric Elbaz, APAC head of sales and financial engineering.
Prior to Natixis, Man was with BNP Paribas since 2015, most recently in their prime service and financing team in Hong Kong, where he covered multi-asset sales trading for fixed income and equity. Previous to BNP Paribas, Man has worked at various firms in Frankfurt, London and Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, An has joined the Chinese global market sales team, Teng has joined the Shanghai office as China head of corporate sales for the global markets unit and Lee has joined corporate sales for China.
In Japan, Hara, who has 24 years of banking experience, comes from Natwest Markets Securities Japan and Harada, who has eight years of banking and financial experience, most recently with Société Générale Securities Japan.
