NatWest has appointed Imogen Bachra to lead its global desk strategy team, taking on the role of head of economics and markets strategy.
She is set to provide a data-driven approach, providing views on key macroeconomic and market themes across various regions and asset classes.
As part of her new role, Bachra will join the trading and sales management team and report to Simon Manwaring.
Bachra joined the bank in 2014 and most recently led the UK rates strategy and non-dollar rates strategy.
Prior to NatWest, she worked at Credit Suisse, HSBC, and Royal Bank of Scotland.
Simon Manwaring, head of trading and sales, commercial and institutional, NatWest said: “Our desk strategy team plays a vital role delivering high quality views to our customers and advising our trading desks and global sales team.
“Imogen brings a wealth of experience to the role and I’m delighted to have her leading the team.”
Earlier this month, NatWest Group named Jonathan Peberdy chief executive of NatWest Markets, following 11 months as deputy CEO.
Peberdy succeeds Robert Begbie, chief executive, commercial and institutional. NatWest Markets confirmed that Robert Begbie would assume the role of CEO permanently back in June 2020, having led the business on an interim basis since December 2019.
