BNP Paribas has appointed Cathy Doyle as head of human resources for Australia and New Zealand.
Doyle, who started on Tuesday, joined from Perpetual, where she was equities group executive.
She was among a large number of executives to be made redundant in Perpetual's Transformation 2015 program, initiated by new chief executive Geoff Lloyd in June.
Doyle initially joined Perpetual in 2006 as an HR manager, but became a group executive of Perpetual Investments Business Services in 2008.
As equities group executive, she was responsible for portfolio analytics and research, institutional sales, investment IT and administration of the company's Australian equities business, as well as human resources for asset management.
