Pierpoint Financial Consulting reports that it continues to expand its Learning and Development (L&D) capabilities for the securities finance sector and the wider financial services community, led by Zafirah Jeetoo.

Pierpoint Practice Lead Roy Zimmerhansl has known Jeetoo for many years. He says: "I am very pleased to be working with Zafirah as part of the Pierpoint team especially as she has continued to deepen her L&D skill set and experience further since our last collaboration.

"Zafirah brings over 12 years L&D knowledge in the financial services sector years working with clients across securities finance front office, operations, compliance, and wider financial services. Her breadth of experience across the L&D function positions her strongly as Partner to lead Pierpoint's training and education initiative further."

Pierpoint says that in the financial world in which the nature of work, office and the workforce are changing at a rapid pace, successful financial institutions must embrace that change, its products are supporting those efforts.

Within the parameters of such fast-paced change, L&D functions play a critical role in supporting competitiveness in today's market, it says, adding that learning needs to be agile, using the full range of technologies available to deliver key training whilst teams continue their day to day activities.

Pierpoint says it recognizes that learning design and delivery has to be transformed to meet the demands of today's finance professional, that learning should be targeted to advance performance and the impact of learning measured.

The Pierpoint Securities Finance Academy houses the L&D programme for the group, its first online course having gone live in March, with a wider mix of more online courses, webinar based training and special events under various stages of development.

Pierpoint Financial Consulting is a boutique consultancy focused on securities finance and collateral management, providing independent advisory services to a broad range of market participants including buy-side, sell-side firms, vendors, and consultants.

Pierpoint works with institutions that are actively engaged in securities finance as well as those considering participation. The Pierpoint edge is its "insider's knowledge" of the business gained by the team over many years in industry leadership roles.
