EquiLend has appointed Peter Hutchinson as business analyst for Spire.
He joins EquiLend from HSBC, where he was previously product owner for agency lending, based in London.
Before this, he was managing partner of Consolo Limited, the securities finance consultancy, which he co-founded in 2015.
Hutchinson spent a major part of his career at Aviva Investors, where he worked for more than 20 year as securities finance trader and, latterly, as head of control and development for the securities finance division.
He joined the company in 1991 as part of the operations team at Morley Fund Management, which was subsequently subsumed under the Aviva Investors brand following its purchase.
EquiLend Spire is a securities finance platform and technology-driven hub, powered by Stonewain, that links securities finance professionals, including agent lenders, prime brokers, retail brokers, beneficial owners and collateral managers.
