Allianz Global Investors (AllianzGI), one of the world’s leading asset managers, has appointed Thibault Delbarge to develop and maintain its client relationships with banks and asset managers in Belgium and Luxembourg.
Thibault’s appointment is a further boost to the Benelux team. He will work from AllianzGI’s recently opened new offices in Brussels and will report to head of wholesale business development for the Benelux, Tim Soetens. This new appointment is very much in keeping with AllianzGI’s growth strategy for the Benelux, a strategy which has already seen the asset manager more than double its number of registered funds in Belgium to 26.
Before joining AllianzGI, Thibault Delbarge gained considerable experience at JP Morgan Asset Management Europe (Luxembourg) and from his later role as Sales Manager at Degroof Petercam in Brussels.
“We’re delighted that Thibault has joined our burgeoning Benelux team,” said Managing Director Benelux & Nordics, Robert Koopdonk. “This appointment illustrates the increasing importance that AllianzGI places in these countries. Thibault’s experience and knowledge of local markets will help us align even more with the individual needs of the banks and asset managers in the region operating in an increasingly complex environment.”
