SG, the corporate and investment banking arm of Société Générale, has appointed David Escoffier as the new head of equity derivatives for the UK and Northern Europe, replacing Charles Annandale who left the bank in July.

Escoffier will be based in London and report to Christophe Mianné, SG's Paris-based global head of equity derivatives. Previously Escoffier was head of distribution for the Americas at SG Cowen, SG's wholly-owned US subsidiary, in New York.
