Global Prime Partners Adds Tom Wooders as Head of Sales

Global Prime Partners (GPP) has appointed Tom Wooders as its newest Head of Sales, Broker-Dealers and Intermediaries, according to a GPP statement.

In his new role as the Head of Sales for GPP’s broker-dealers and intermediaries, Mr. Wooders will be responsible for fostering the group’s global Clearing and custody services. He joins GPP with nearly two decades of experience in the financial services and sales realm, having held senior level roles at JP Morgan, BNY Pershing, State Street, and Broadridge.

According to Julian Parker, Chief Executive of Global Prime Partners, in a recent statement on the hire, "Tom’s appointment reflects our commitment to growing our clearing and custody operations as we look to provide more and more investors with access to products and levels of service they are increasingly being denied by banks.”

“We are delighted to have attracted someone of Tom’s caliber and look forward to benefiting from his extensive financial experience,” Parker added.

Global Prime Partners provides a number of clearing and custody services, part of an extensive suite of services that also includes a prime brokerage offering. The group deals with Client Money and asset segregation as well targeting asset managers, broker-dealers, among others

Earlier this year, GPP appointed Andrew Bole as its Chief Operating Officer (COO). Mr. Bole joined GPP from IG Group Holdings, where he served as its risk officer since May 2000.
