Person
Juan Ramirez currently works at BNP Paribas in London and is responsible for the marketing of strategic equity derivatives to the Iberian corporate and institutional clients. After earning a bachelor degree in electrical engineering at the ICAI university in Madrid, he joined the consumer products group at Arthur Andersen where he spent five years gaining a substantial exposure to the accounting world. After earning an MBA degree from University of Chicago, Mr. Ramirez moved to London to work at Chase Manhattan (currently JP Morgan). He has also worked at Lehman Brothers, Barclays Capital and Banco Santander.
Mr. Ramirez has devoted more than 15 years marketing structured derivatives solutions, being involved in commodity, credit, equity, fixed income and foreign exchange derivatives. He witnessed how the first time adoption of IFRS in 2005, greatly changed the way European entities made their hedging decisions using derivatives. Since then he has spent a substantial amount of his time helping entities to minimise the accounting impact of highly structured derivatives transactions. Mr. Ramirez is married and has three children.
