Vinay is a member of the firm’s global commodities group and previously headed the firm’s derivatives and structured products team in London.

Vinay has extensive experience across both OTC and securitised derivatives and over the years has driven forward the use of structured finance techniques in capital markets transactions, from regulatory capital issuance through to large exchange-traded product platforms and emerging market loan syndication through SPVs.

His time on secondment at Bankers Trust in the late 1990s and Credit Suisse in the early 2000s has enabled Vinay to better understand the commercial needs of clients and his representation of corporate clients on the impact of the European Market Infrastructure Regulation (EMIR) has also given him an insight into the Treasury function at large Corporates.
