Credit Agricole appointed Gordon Kingsley as head of Latin America debt and credit markets (DCM) – origination.

Based in New York, Kingsley reports to Andy Schaeffer, who is head of credit markets and DCM – Origination Americas.

Kingsley was previously a managing director at BCP Securities where he was head of structured finance. Before this, Kingsley had senior capital market positions at Forum Asset Management, Standard Bank, ING and JPMorgan during his over 20-year career in the securities industry, most of which was focused on Latin America.

“Gordon’s recruitment represents our continued commitment to the emerging markets DCM business and our desire to staff our platform with highly regarded professionals globally,” Schaeffer said. “We are confident that Gordon’s stature and experience in Latin America combined with Crédit Agricole CIB’s strategy to grow our global emerging markets bond franchise will result in substantial growth and continued success.”
