SIGBU FINANCE has been established in 2018, in Switzerland by its Managing Director and sole shareholder, Pierre Gay.
The aim of the company is to capitalize on the Commodity Trading Finance expertise Pierre Gay has gained structuring bespoke financing solutions for both niche and global international commodity traders in mature and emerging markets for over 20 years in leading Geneva based Banking institutions.
Pierre Gay was a Commodity Finance Group Head in BNP Paribas Geneva until mid 2014. He then held Managing Director positions with international Oil Trading companies for which he designed and successfully implemented the establishment of their Geneva, Switzerland, platforms, securing access to trade finance from leading international commodity Banks, in Switzerland and beyond.
Sigbu Finance Sarl advises and assists companies active in the commodity trading supply chain and understanding the imperative requirement to adapt their set-up from a corporate governance, compliance and operational stand point in order to meet today’s ever more stringent constraints imposed on commodity traders by Banks, commodity finance funds, insurers, risk managers, auditors and society in general.
Sigbu Finance Sarl sees itself as an enabler, bridging the cultural gap between the business DNA of the niche to medium size commodity trader and the commodity trading financiers they depend on.
