Saxo Bank Appoints Tony Bainbridge as Head of Group Human Resources

Hellerup, Denmark (ots/PRNewswire) -

Saxo Bank, the online trading and investment specialist, is
pleased to announce that it has appointed a new Head of Group HR,
Tony Bainbridge.

Tony Bainbridge's appointment and position as part of the
Executive Management Group underlines the importance placed by Saxo
Bank on the ongoing development of its staff as it prepares for the
next phase of business growth. He will relocate to Saxo Bank's
headquarters in Copenhagen for the role and will be supported by
Ditte Buchwald, recently appointed Deputy Head of HR.

This marks another senior appointment for Saxo Bank, which last
month announced Matteo Cassina as Global Head of Institutional
Business working out of London. According to Tony Bainbridge, this
increasing internationalisation of the leadership team reflects the
business' growing global presence and expansion into new markets.

"My aim is to reflect Saxo Bank's growing global presence and
expansion into new markets in the leadership of the Bank. Matteo's
appointment should of course also be seen in this light. Moreover,
it's critical that each of the 1400 employees around the world
specifically and individually contribute to Saxo Bank's overall goal
to be the most professional and transparent facilitator of financial
products and services in the global capital markets," Bainbridge
said.

Tony Bainbridge joined Saxo Bank from Rexam Plastics, part of
Rexam PLC, where he was HR Director. He has extensive experience
across the consumer goods, manufacturing, technology and hospitality
sectors, having also served as Global HR Director for CIBA Vision and
Edwards High Vacuum. He has also served as Senior Vice President HR
for EMEA for InterContinental Hotels Group. He has lived and worked
in Switzerland, the US and Poland and also spent three years as
Managing Director of the French business of CIBA Vision. His early
career was spent at Mars and PepsiCo in both commercial and HR roles
in the UK and continental Europe.

Tony holds a degree in economics, psychology and French from the
University of Durham.
