BNP Paribas is planning to hire at least five foreign exchange marketers for its sales offices in San Francisco and Montreal. The move is an extension to its plan to hire about 20 marketers with knowledge of over-the-counter derivatives to offer more structured fx products in Paris, London and New York, according to an official at the firm (DW, 1/27). The firm has a team of four marketers in Montreal and five marketers in San Francisco.
Sharon Aspel, head of foreign exchange corporate sales for the Americas in New York, is spearheading the plan. Aspel did not return calls.
