Natixis Corporate & Investment Banking (Natixis CIB) is pleased to announce the appointment of John H. Briggs as Head of US Rates Strategy.

With more than 25 years of experience in the financial sector, John will lead the development and publication of actionable strategies for US rates and swaps, as well as bring insights that enhance client engagement and investment decisions. He will report to Benito Berber, Chief Economist for the Americas, and Zachary Rose, Head of US Macro Sales.

"We are delighted to welcome John to our team," said Benito Berber. "He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the organization, and we look forward to the valuable insights and leadership he will bring to our US Rates Strategy."

Based out of the firm’s New York office, in this role, John will bring his successful track record of developing thematic and technical ideas and delivering market forecasts across multiple asset classes to develop and manage interest rate scenarios and recommendations for the US rates and LatAm FX/rates space. He will work closely with economists and strategists across Natixis CIB’s global Research and Global Markets businesses.

“We are excited to see a strategist of John’s caliber step into this crucial role,” said Zachary Rose. “His deep understanding of market dynamics will provide clients with innovative solutions tailored to their specific needs in the ever-evolving rates landscape.”

“I look forward to helping Natixis CIB amplify its growth in the US region and adding to their already strong US content,” said John Briggs, “especially given the increased volatility and uncertainty that investors and corporations currently face".
