BNP hires European structurers

BNP Paribas has hired four fixed-income and foreign exchange specialists for its London-based structured products team.

Francois-Xavier Chevallier will devise and market algorithmic interest rate and FX strategies; he moves from BNP Paribas Asset Management in Paris.

Javier Quiros Garcia will work on hybrid and local market structuring. He was previously a derivatives trader and structurer at Banco Santander in Madrid.

Andrew Jeyarajah, previously a property derivatives specialist at Tullett Prebon and the head of pricing and execution at the Tullett Prebon-DTZ property derivatives joint venture, will be in charge of BNP's property derivatives structuring activities.

All three will be based in London and will report to BNP's head of interest rate and FX structuring in Europe, Kara Lemont.

Wojciech Herchel has also joined from West LB: he will focus on asset and liability management modelling, and will report to the deputy head of interest rate structuring in Europe, Vincent Bernard.
