Paris, February 18, 2026 – Onbrane is thrilled to announce that Charlie Berman, a veteran capital markets leader and fintech founder, has joined its Board of Directors.
Charlie Berman brings over four decades of experience across global investment banking, capital markets leadership and financial-technology innovation. His appointment to the Onbrane Board is in addition to his ongoing role as Founder and CEO of Agora Digital Capital Markets Ltd.
Over the course of his career, Mr. Berman has held senior leadership roles at Salomon Brothers, Citigroup and Barclays including as Head of Capital Markets, Co-Head of Credit Markets, Head of Global Public Sector and Chairman of Capital Markets. He has worked extensively with sovereign, supranational and public-sector issuers, as well as financial institutions and corporate borrowers across the globe. He has played a significant role in the evolution of international bond markets, particularly the development of the Global Bond mechanism which brought together the Yankee and Eurobond markets in the 1990’s. Since founding Agora in 2018, he has focused on the digitisation and orchestration of institutional capital-markets workflows.
“I am delighted to be joining the Onbrane Board at a pivotal moment in the development of capital-markets infrastructure in Europe and globally,” said Charlie Berman. “Our markets cannot continue to rely on outdated infrastructures and practices rooted in 1980/90s. Onbrane has established itself as the leading and most impactful platform driving the digitalisation and future evolution of European money markets. Its unique network – spanning issuers through to major asset managers – combined with a technology-forward approach to market infrastructure, creates a compelling platform to drive real change in the markets. We share a common vision, and I am excited to contribute to Onbrane’s future development.”
Pascal Lauffer, Co-founder and CEO of Onbrane commented:
“Charlie brings an exceptional combination of front-line capital-markets experience and fintech leadership. His deep understanding of market structure, issuer needs and technology-enabled transformation will be highly valuable as Onbrane continues to scale its platform and support the next phase of development in European debt markets.”
Mr. Berman’s appointment further strengthens Onbrane’s Board as the company continues to expand adoption of its platform and deepen engagement across the European debt-market ecosystem.
