Natixis’ Corporate & Investment Bank creates its Green & Sustainable Hub
Natixis steps up its green and sustainable economy ambitions and creates the Green & Sustainable Hub in its Corporate & Investment Banking division. This operational hub will provide issuer and investor clients worldwide with a broad spectrum of green and sustainable finance expertise.
Headed by Orith Azoulay, the Hub will provide:
- Green & sustainable research, at the very center of the set-up. This team will now be managed by Cécile de Coincy;
- Finance structuring and origination (bonds, loans, securitization) based on an O2D or Originate-to-Distribute approach, thereby facilitating syndication and distribution to a specialized investor base;
- Investment solution structuring and engineering (equities, fixed income and credit) aimed at designing innovative investment products and solutions;
- Advisory as we work alongside our issuer and investor clients.
The new team will be managed by Orith Azoulay, previously Head of SRI Research. Orith will report to Mohamed Kallala, Global Head of Investment Banking, and Luc François, Head of Global Markets.
