Natixis names deputy CEO

Natixis Investment Managers has appointed Nathalie Bricker to the new position of deputy chief executive officer.

Bricker was recruited to the role by Philippe Setbon, who was named as the firm's new chief executive last week, as well as head of asset and wealth management at its parent company Groupe BPCE.

Setbon was previously the head of Ostrum Asset Management, an affiliate within Natixis's multi-boutique model.

As deputy chief executive, Bricker becomes a member of the senior management committee of Groupe BPCE's global financial services.

Five years ago, she was appointed director of finance and strategy at Natixis IM, a position she will retain in her new role of deputy chief executive.

In 2018, she was promoted to finance chief and a member of Natixis' senior management committee.

Bricker began her career in 1991 at KPMG. In 1995, she joined Caisse des Dépôts as manager-facilitator of the accounting network for capital markets and custodians.

Three years later, she was promoted to head of central accounting.

She joined CDC IXIS in 2000 as deputy head of the accounting department and head of the corporate accounts sector.

She was then appointed head of accounting standards and systems at Natexis Banques Populaires in 2005 and head of accounting at Natixis in 2007.

In 2013, Nathalie Bricker became head of accounting and ratios and joined the Natixis' executive committee in 2016.
