BNP Paribas was one of the big movers in the Euromoney poll last year, breaking into the top 10 globally with a market share of 2.26%. But it did not figure in the top 10 for e-trading.
A number of hires announced by the bank show that this effort is now in full flow:
Luke Waddington (ex-RBS and HSBC) has been appointed as Head of eCommerce for Asia and Japan, based in Tokyo.
Dan Osborne (ex- CitiFX and FXall) joins the eCommerce team in the US, based in New York.
BNP has also confirmed the hiring of Thomas Soede (ex-Lehman) as global head of eCommerce, as exclusively revealed by the weeklyFiX last month.
Thomas played a key role at Lehmen Brothers Europe before its demise, where he was responsible for the build-out of global distribution in FX and spearheaded the Electronic Distribution business.

Eric Auld, global head of FX at BNP said: “With the hires in place, I am confident that we have a compelling electronic trading offering that will help us to realise our ambitions to become a top-five player in FX.”
