Wilmington Trust, a leading provider of institutional trustee, agency, and administrative services through its Corporate Client Services (CCS) business, announced today the addition of Tanvir Mukhtar-Zahid to the group's Client Development team.

Ms. Mukhtar-Zahid joins Wilmington Trust's Client Development team in London, which is responsible for presenting the company's full range of specialized trust and administrative services to corporate clients throughout Europe. Ms. Mukhtar-Zahid reports to Douglas Lavelle, vice president and the New York-based leader of global sales and marketing efforts for CCS's Corporate Capital Markets Services group, and Christophe Schroeder, the London-based executive managing director of CCS's European business.

Wilmington Trust has steadily built its CCS business globally in recent years, particularly in Europe. In October, the company announced its ?One Global Model? initiative, which is designed to reinforce its ability to serve corporate clients in global capital markets and accelerate growth. The initiative is under the direction of Daniel R. Fisher, head of the Global Finance Division within CCS's Corporate Capital Markets Services group. The company currently operates in several preferred jurisdictions for corporate business outside of the United States and beyond London, including Dublin, Frankfurt, Luxembourg, Amsterdam, the Cayman Islands, and the Channel Islands.

?Our clients can access multiple services in multiple jurisdictions through a single service provider with decades of experience,? said Mr. Lavelle. ?We are delighted to welcome Tanvir to our team, and believe that she will be a terrific asset to our clients.?

Ms. Mukhtar-Zahid brings more than a decade of sales and relationship management experience to Wilmington Trust. Most recently, she was a business consultant providing sales and marketing strategic advice. Previously, she served as vice president of relationship sales in the corporate trust division of JPMorgan Chase in London working with investment banking clients. Earlier in her career, Ms. Mukhtar-Zahid was marketing manager for Thomson Reuters and conference manager with Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC. She began her career as an accountant for PriceWaterhouseCoopers. She holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Warwick.

CCS's core services include entity management services, which help clients establish legal standing by supporting the administration of holding companies and special purpose vehicles; capital markets services, including trustee and agency services that support global capital markets transactions, such as debt restructurings, project finance deals, and structured finance deals; trust and custody services for corporate retirement plans; and institutional investment management services. As a result of the global financial crisis and economic recession in recent years, demand has increased for several CCS offerings, including services that support distressed debt, loan administration, and corporate bankruptcies. CCS is distinguished from many of its competitors by its status as a core business, the experience and expertise of its global staff, its independence by virtue of not having lending or securities underwriting conflicts, its multi-jurisdictional presence, and its reputation for superior service and execution.
