The boutique securities finance and collateral management consultancy Pierpoint Financial Consulting reports this morning that it has added straight-speaking Dutchman Jeroen Bakker as its Benelux consulting lead.

It says Bakker brings to the table over 20 years of securities finance expertise on both the buy- and sell-side. He has practical experience and knowledge across securities lending and repo as well as experience of collateral management within a treasury unit.

This experience includes being Head of Trading at agent and principal lenders and most recently sales and marketing for the equity finance desk at a major UK bank.

Roy Zimmerhansl, Practice Lead, who has been dealing with Bakker for many years, commented: "I have sat across the table from him as a counterparty so I know he brings deep knowledge and creative thinking to issues facing market participants."

Additionally, he has strong sales skills which will be for the benefit of the wider team in addition to his remit for Benelux.

Jeroen Bakker added: "Securities finance is increasingly a cross-product, integrated activity at both buy-side and sell-side firms and I look forward to working with clients to optimize their businesses.

Pierpoint works with institutions that are actively engaged in securities finance as well as those considering participation putting its insider's knowledge of the business gained by the team over many years at their disposal.
