In Barcelona, Carlos Sensat joins as regional head, while Indosuez’s Valencia office has added David Nogués as regional head.

Antonio Losada, chief executive of Indosuez in Spain, said: “The calibre of new hires demonstrates that Indosuez has established itself as a strong and attractive brand in the market at an exciting time for the sector, shaped by consolidation.

“Together with our new colleagues in Madrid, Valencia, Seville and Barcelona, we are now within reach of 90% of the Spanish territory bringing us closer to our clients.”

New platform

Indosuez has also struck a deal with wealth researchers Capgemini to plug the professional services firm’s expertise into Indosuez’s end-to-end platform.
