BNP Paribas Asset Management (BNPP AM) announced today the appointment of Michael Herskovich as Global Head of Stewardship within its Sustainability Centre, replacing Helena Viñes Fiestas, who will be leaving BNPP AM for a new role at Spanish securities market regulator Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores. Herskovich will lead BNPP AM’s Global Stewardship team, and will report to Jane Ambachtsheer, BNPP AM’s Global Head of Sustainability.

Ambachtsheer said:

“Michael is a long-standing expert in the field of stewardship, with strong relationships in the industry.  He has been instrumental in the development of our ambitious approach to corporate governance and this new role reflects his expertise and ambition in terms of stewardship activity.

“I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Helena on her appointment to the CNMV and wish her every success in her new role.  Her appointment is great testimony to the significant contribution she has made to responsible investment and sustainable finance during the past 10 years.”
