Gregory Duval has joined outsourced buy-side trading desk, Natixis TradEx Solutions (NTEX) as a credit dealer.
Based in Paris, Duval brings more than two decades of industry experience to his new role, having previously worked in various credit-based roles across the buy- and sell-side.
Natixis TradEx Solutions operates as a subsidiary of Natixis Investment Managers, and provides services such as outsourced dealing, securities lending and data and analytics.
Duval joins the firm from Crédit Agricole, where he spent almost three years as an investment grade corporate credit trader. He also held the same position at CIC Market Solutions, where he worked for two years.
He has also worked extensively in credit roles spanning dealing, broking and cash trading at firms including Edmond de Rothschild, Tikehau Investment Management, Tradition, and Lloyds.
Natixis had not responded to a request for comment at the time of publication.
Bolstering its credit business has been a core focus for Natixis in recent months, and in August, the firm promoted Marc Denjean as global head of credit markets.
Denjean has spent seven years at the firm and steps up after having joined as a managing director for global structured credit and solutions in 2018.
