Geoffrey Rodrigue, formerly global head of stocks and index solutions at BNP Paribas in Paris, has been appointed global head of trading and electronic solutions by the French bank.
Based in Paris, Rodrigue will be heading BNP Paribas's trading and electronic solutions team, a newly-launched unit, working across business lines within the bank's global equities and commodity derivatives (GECD) division to adapt and streamline IT and infrastructure.
"The team's goal is to ensure a consistent top-notch experience for all clients, no matter how they choose to trade with us (by phone, trading system, over the exchange, etc.)," a BNP Paribas spokesperson told SRP.
Rodrigue will report to Olivier Osty, the former deputy head of BNP Paribas's global equities and commodity derivatives (GECD) department, who has been appointed global head of GECD following Yann Gerardin's recent promotion to succeed Alain Papiasse as the bank's head of corporate and investment banking (CIB).
Rodrigue joined BNP Paribas in 2009 following the bank's acquisition of Fortis and has held a number of senior positions including global head of exchange traded solutions and global head of retail liquidity programme (RLP) sales and trading.
Rodrigue joined Fortis in 2002 as head of equity derivatives trading and was promoted to global head of equity derivatives group in 2005.
