BNP Paribas appoints new strategy head for Americas equity derivatives

BNP Paribas has appointed Christian Roch as head of strategy and corporate development for equities and derivatives in the Americas, a newly created position at the French bank.

Roch will report to Todd Steinberg, who is head of equities and derivatives for the Americas.

Roch moves from his previous position as head of corporate development for the Americas, which he has held since joining BNP Paribas’ New York office in 2004.

He has spent more than 15 years with the French bank, starting in the Paris-based asset management division and later joining the International Network Management area covering Europe. He then worked at BNP Paribas corporate finance for five years. Before joining BNP Paribas in 1992, he worked as a sales analyst at ABN Amro for four years.
