The Paris-based firm has offices in Luxembourg, Frankfurt, Milan, Madrid, London, Zurich and Miami.

Carmignac, the French asset manager, has appointed Abdellah Bouziane as global head of compliance, leading this function in the seven countries where the firm operates. The position is not a newly-created one.

Prior to this, Bouziane spent 13 years with AXA Investment Managers in various senior compliance roles, including head of compliance for the UK subsidiary and for the Asia-Pacific region. He began his career in 2003 as an auditor with PricewaterhouseCoopers. He also holds a master’s degree in economy and law of banking and finance.

In April last year Carmignac tapped former AXA IM operations head Gautier Ripert to become its chief operating officer.
