Andrew Polydor said:
“I am delighted to be taking up this role at such an important time for Global Broking and E&C. I am looking forward to working with my new colleagues to implement our progressive strategy and enhance how we serve our clients.”
Andrew Polydor began his career in Financial Markets in 1982 before moving on to set up Prebon Energy Sydney in the late 1990s, which became the premier broker in the Australian power market.
