This week’s overview of people moves in the investment industry includes new leadership appointments at ING Group, Carne Group, and Haca Partners.
ING appoints Ida Lerner as new CFO
ING has appointed Ida Lerner as its next chief financial officer and member of the Management Board Banking, effective 1 April 2026. She will succeed Tanate Phutrakul, who will step down from the role at that time.
Lerner, who holds Swedish and Norwegian citizenship, was until recently the CFO of Norwegian bank DNB. Since joining DNB in 2010, she held a range of senior positions, including head of CEMEA in London, head of customer analysis for Northern Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and group director of risk management. Earlier in her career, she worked at HSBC and Nordea.
ING CEO Steven van Rijswijk welcomed the appointment, noting that Lerner’s “deep understanding of the European banking sector” would be a valuable asset. Lerner said she was honoured to join ING “at a time of growth, with a clear ambition to become the leading bank in Europe.” Her appointment has been approved by the European Central Bank.
Géraldine Mascelli joins Haca Partners as director
Audit and consultancy firm Haca Partners has appointed Géraldine Mascelli as director, regulatory and compliance, as the firm expands its services in Luxembourg. Mascelli brings over 25 years of experience in the financial sector, including executive and conducting officer roles and an early career at a Big Four firm.
In her new role, she will lead the development of two key service areas: operational partnerships for compliance and AML functions, and board solutions supporting governance oversight, reporting and effectiveness. Haca said her appointment reflects growing demand for tailored support in regulatory and governance matters across the local market.
Carne appoints Francis Parisis to lead Luxembourg development
Carne Group has appointed Francis Parisis as managing director and head of business development for Luxembourg, as part of its strategy to expand in one of its key markets.
Parisis joins with over 20 years of experience in fund services and private wealth, including senior roles at PwC and Citco. He will support Carne’s growth in Luxembourg, where the third-party ManCo oversees over 200 billion euro in assets under management.
The firm has reported a 48 percent increase in AUM since December 2023. Pascal Dufour, country head Luxembourg, and Mark Stockley, chief business development officer, said Parisis would play a central role in further scaling the firm’s offering in a jurisdiction that remains a long-term priority for Carne.
