Natixis has appointed Erik Bergman as its new head of the Nordic region, recruiting him from rival BNP Paribas.

The appointment marks another shift in the competitive landscape for investment banking leadership in the region.

Bergman joins Natixis from BNP Paribas, where he held a senior role.

The move comes as major banks continue to restructure their Nordic operations and compete for top talent in the region.

This follows recent leadership changes at other major Nordic financial institutions.

Nordea recently appointed Jacob Spens as its new head of equities, recruiting him from UBS to lead the bank's equity sales and trading division.
