Specialist consultancy firm The Field Effect has appointed Mark Barnard as a senior consultant.
Barnard previously served as managing director at RBS, where he led equity finance, liquidity management and derivatives, for just over four years.
He will now play a leading role in The Field Effect’s securities finance practice, according to the firm.
Managing director David Field said: “I am delighted to welcome Mark Barnard to the company to extend our already established clearing and collateral consulting practice. Mark brings significant top tier trading and financing experience to the team.�
“Mark will open up new opportunities for The Field Effect to deploy its change management approach which has been deployed on over 70 sell side, buy-side, custodian and central counterparty projects.�
Barnard added: “I’m looking forward to stepping into the world of consultancy. There are several significant challenges facing the industry including 'juniorisation' and groupthink.�
“Banks are still grappling with huge regulatory challenges, often tactically, which will change the face of the securities financing and collateral industry.�
