Benoit Pommier 160Contineo hired Benoit Pommier as new head of marketing and sales, the Hong Kong-based firm said on Monday. Pommier has spent his career in structured products on both the buy and sell sides in Singapore and Hong Kong. His previous roles involved working in the private banking arms of Société Générale, HSBC and DBS, and most recently on the sell side with Commerzbank where he was covering Private Banks and External Asset Managers for structured products distribution.

Growing Team

CEO Antoine de Charnacé said Benoit Pommier’s expertise in structured products and private banking in Asia is ideal to strengthen Contineo’s growing team.

De Charnacé joined Contineo last June from DBS Private Bank. He replaced Mark Munoz, who after three years leading Contineo from an early-stage start-up to a successful revenue generating network business, stepped down to focus on other business opportunities.
