At Orchard, Gentzel will be based in London and oversee client data and information delivery as well as help to grow the assets it trades and the products it offers, the statement said.
Orchard Global lends to banks, asset managers, and others using structured finance, as well as risk transfer solutions, a synthetic way to reduce loan risk from balance sheets.
“Fredrik’s experience as CEO and COO of Capula Investment Management make him uniquely qualified to lead Orchard Global’s continued investment in systems, infrastructure, finance, and risk management,” Paul Horvath, chief executive officer of Orchard Global, said in the statement.
