There he was also a member of the global investment leadership team which oversaw INGIM’s total asset base of $484bn.
He said: "In volatile markets only the best asset managers are able to stay the course and deliver for their clients. I look forward to working closely with the team at Lombard Odier to offer the very best solutions for each of our clients."
