Bank of America has appointed Chris Jameson as head of global trade and supply chain finance, succeeding Geoff Brady, effective June 1.
Jameson will remain based in London, where he also serves as the bank’s head of global payments solutions (GPS) product management for Europe, the Middle East and Africa (Emea), reporting to Greg Kavanaugh, head of GPS global product management.
Jameson will continue in that position, overseeing the development and deployment of payments, receivables, FX, liquidity and related services for corporate and financial institution clients across the region.
“With his experience leading product strategy across Emea, Chris understands the complexity of serving clients across jurisdictions, and his long‑standing engagement with financial institutions and Baft (Bankers Association for Finance and Trade) brings added industry depth to this global trade product role,” said Kavanaugh.
After around eight years leading Bank of America’s trade and supply chain finance business, Brady will move into a newly created role within the bank’s global capital solutions group, where he will lead working capital solutions.
He will report jointly to Karen Fang, global head of infrastructure and sustainable finance and co-head of global capital solutions, and Sarang Gadkari, co-head of global capital markets and co-head of global capital solutions, and will remain based in New York.
Brady’s appointment forms part of a broader push by the bank to expand its capabilities in structured working capital and supply chain-related financing.
Bank of America created the global capital solutions group in November, a move it said formalises efforts to serve clients with complex financing needs across public and private markets.
Brady told GTR he will lead the unit’s work on “structured working capital solutions; things around inventory, portfolios and receivables and how we can help to create structured transactions around supply chains”.
Jameson takes on the trade leadership position after more than 15 years at Bank of America, where he has held a number of roles leading sales teams, including head of financial institutions sales for Emea, head of GPS corporate sales for Western Europe and head of GPS sales, CEEMEA ex-Russia.
Before joining the bank in 2011, he worked with Citi for eight years in Paris and London, where he managed global treasury relationships with French, Irish and UK clients.
