Tom Doomernik joins Investec in a newly created role as Netherlands’ Business Development Team lead, reporting to the Head of TRS for Investec Europe, Aisling Dodgson. Tom will be responsible for building Investec’s client book in the country to support the passporting of MiFID services into the Netherlands and creating a team on the ground to effectively service the needs of the mid-market, which is a key area of focus for Investec. Tom will be instrumental in positioning the Netherlands as a hub to effectively service this client segment.

Investec’s TRS teams in the UK and Ireland have successfully serviced mid-market clients for over 20 years, supporting businesses to manage risk with a breadth of solutions across commodities, FX, inflation, interest rates and money markets. Services range from sophisticated currency management, a specialist FX desk dedicated to the fund and private capital sector, hedging solutions associated with commodity price volatility and interest rate and inflation risk mitigation, among others.

Tom is the first treasury hire for the team in the Netherlands and brings with him a decade of corporate banking and forex experience. Tom previously held a senior role at Ebury, a fintech company specialising in international payments, collections and foreign exchange services, where he successfully built and led a high-performing team. Prior to joining Ebury, Tom worked at Rabobank where he was a director focused on SMEs and mid-sized clients.

Investec has been active in the Benelux since 2014 and through the acquisition of a majority interest in what is now Capitalmind Investec in 2023, also provides M&A advice in the region and in Europe, strengthening its footprint across Continental Europe. More recently, Danielle van den Elshout joined Investec in the Netherlands to launch its integrated asset-based (ABL) and cashflow lending offering in the region.

Aisling Dodgson, Head of Treasury Risk Solutions for Investec Europe, commented:

“Tom’s appointment underlines the strength of our ambition for growing our TRS business and enhances how we both sustain and build long-term partnerships. Corporates with international operations and supply chains face a range of challenges that are only heightened during times of economic uncertainty. Demand for managing exposure to the associated risks is increasing and we offer a range of solutions for mid-sized corporates who are otherwise poorly served by retail or large investment banks.”

Tom Doomernik added:

“Corporates must be more agile than ever, and I look forward to working with the wider team at Investec Europe to support clients with a personal service complemented by a digital platform that puts clients in control of their risk management strategy.”
