Frances Bornstein joins as associate director, based in the agency's London office.
She replaces Emma Palmer, who left Northbank in July to join ING Wholesale Banking. Bornstein reports to Northbank CEO Sue Charles.
‘We've been seeing a lot more activity on Euronext this year, after AIM and the Swiss Stock Exchange led the way in previous years,' said Charles. ‘Frances will look to tap into that market because she brings a lot of European experience.'
Bornstein previously ran her own consultancy in Switzerland, advising Intercell through its IPO on the Vienna Stock Exchange.
She previously worked at the SWX Swiss Exchange in the position of vice-president and head of issuers and investor relations.
Before that, Bornstein was a broadcast and news agency journalist in Munich and Zurich.
Last month, Northbank took over the PR account for Cambridge Antibody Technology from Hogarth. It also picked up a contract from ABN Amro to represent its private-equity life-sciences business.
Northbank has around 31 employees at offices in London, Congleton (near Manchester) and Munich, Germany.
