Susie Aliker hired to lead GCM Europe; Alan Geraghty named global head of GCM Product Management

WILMINGTON, DEL. – April 25, 2024 – Wilmington Trust, a leader in corporate and institutional trust services, today announced changes to its Global Capital Markets (GCM) leadership team, welcoming Susie Aliker as head of GCM Europe, and appointing Alan Geraghty as head of GCM Global Product Management.

Building on the firm’s established franchise and strong revenue growth in recent years, Aliker will be responsible for accelerating that growth through broadening and deepening the customer proposition in the European market, including leveraging the firm’s established M&A and Project Finance practices in the US. In parallel, Geraghty will lead ongoing customer-centric development of the global GCM product proposition.  Both will report to Abby Mrozinski, head of GCM.

Susie and Alan will jointly lead the execution of an ambitious five-year growth plan throughout Europe -- by broadening product capabilities, deepening client relationships, and driving bottom-line contribution through increased efficiency.

“We have an exciting opportunity to leverage our brand reputation in Europe to broaden and deepen our client proposition, which will position us to grow and diversify our European business,” said Mrozinski. “Appointing a team of capable leaders to drive the ambitious goals we have set to serve and grow our international client base is critical. Susie, with her proven track record of leading financial services organizations through transformations and new product initiatives is the ideal fit for helping us to achieve these objectives.  Further, Alan’s depth of product knowledge, as well as his long-standing client and industry relationships, will guide our vision for a unified business model by crafting a  product expansion strategy.”

Aliker will be responsible for leading the firm’s offices in the U.K., Ireland, and Germany, providing corporate, trustee, custody, collateral, and agency services to corporations and structured finance and loan markets. She brings over 25 years of experience after holding executive positions with Credit Suisse; British Arab Commercial Bank (as CFO and CEO); and most recently, CEO of Tandem Bank.

Geraghty has over two decades of experience in the financial services industry and has led Wilmington Trust’s GCM Europe business for almost a decade, after joining the company in 2004. He will now be responsible for globally defining GCM’s product strategy while leading innovation and development.

This announcement comes on the heels of the recent launch of Wilmington Trust’s European Project Finance offering, a business line that the firm has grown 700% globally over the past six years.
