RBC Dexia Investor Services has filled the vacant director of business development position internally.
Keith Watson, previously risk and investment analytics senior manager, has taken over the role.
Watson will report to RBC Dexia regional head sales and relationship manager Michael Bonhote and will be responsible for driving new business growth in Australia.
Prior to joining RBC Dexia, he was Australia/New Zealand head of client service and relationship manager at JP Morgan. He has also been active in Investment and Financial Services Association working groups on unit pricing and performance, and the Australian Custodial Services Association investment administration working group.
"Our goal is to know the business of each and every existing and prospective client to ensure our solutions are specific to the needs of each organisation," RBC Dexia Australia managing director of investor services David Travers said.
"Keith's analytical background adds another layer of expertise to our already strong business development team."
The position of business development director has been vacant since mid-2009 when Rob Chowdhury left to take up the position of head of adviser services at OneVue.
