IQ-EQ is pleased to announce the appointment of Romain Riegert as our new Regional Chief Risk Officer for Continental Europe. This is a newly created position for the Group and will add to Romain’s existing responsibilities as Company Secretary of IQ-EQ France.
Romain boasts an impressive career spanning over two decades, predominantly in asset management and structured finance.
