Specialist consulting and corporate finance firm Finativ has expanded its top team with the appointment of Richard Carter as consulting director.

The company said Carter has a strong track record of driving growth and improved business performance across a range of commercial finance sectors and geographies.

Carter was formerly CEO, Europe & Asia at Bibby Financial Services, head of asset finance at HSBC UK and European head of services, global trade and receivables finance at HSBC.

In a press release, Finative said: “Carter combines the insight gained from international general management roles with deep experience in product design, operations and sales.

“As a result, he is well suited to support clients looking to grow through the development of new product lines or through geographic expansion.

“Recent areas that he has explored include the development of a Sharia-compliant receivables fund; looking at mutual cooperation agreements to fill client segment gaps in a number of countries; and looking at supplier finance structures to address the long tail of suppliers often not reached in the financing.
