The corporate and investment banking arm of Société Générale appointed Stewart Robinson as European head of project bonds within the bond syndicate team, effective April 7.

Mr. Robinson will report to Duncan Scott, head of U.S private placements and project bonds, based in the United States.

While Société Générale Corporate & Investment Banking has a project bond capability, the move is a further sign that banks expect project bond issuance to grow.

Robinson joins from RBC Capital Markets in London where he held a senior role in the origination and execution of structured capital markets instruments in the energy and infrastructure sectors. Before he was an Analyst at Barclays Capital.

Mr.  Robinson holds a Masters in Engineering, Economics and Management from Oxford University.
