First Derivative announces the hire of Johnny Mattimore to global head of risk and sustainable finance for its London office.
In his new role, Mattimore will lead a global team supporting clients across financial and non-financial risk management, including the integration of economic, social and governance (ESG) risk management strategies and goals.
Mattimore will also aid the implementation of First Derivative’s corporate social responsibility strategy, underpinned by the United Nations Global Compact (UN GC) and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).
Previously, Mattimore led global risk platform redesigns and corporate sustainability governance and implementation frameworks for a number of tier 1 banks, as well as other financial organisations such as Gartmore Global Asset Management, Old Mutual and RAB Capital.
He began his career in investment banking in senior trading and structuring roles for Citi, Bear Stearns and ING.
Commenting on the appointment, David Collins, managing director of First Derivative, says: “Johnny Mattimore brings to the firm expertise in risk management, specifically in securities and macroeconomics. This appointment will help us develop unique product offerings that address the lack of cohesion across the industry when it comes to integrated sustainability reporting.”
Mattimore adds: “Many organisations are increasingly struggling to access standardised means to measure, monitor or manage their ESG-related data, as they oversee risks across their business.
“At First Derivative, we help solve these very issues for clients in the financial services sector. Working on these complex data challenges, I’m excited by the opportunity for us to take a leading role in the integration of emerging risk with traditional risk management practices.”
