Mount Street Group has appointed Fatima Badini as head of human resources, with a remit to shape the company’s people strategy and oversee organisational change across its nine international offices.

Badini (pictured), who took up the role on 1 September, brings more than two decades of experience in HR transformation, employee relations and talent management across the financial services and legal sectors.

Based in London, she will be responsible for aligning HR strategy with Mount Street’s business objectives and leading a global team tasked with building what the firm described as “inclusive and high-integrity workplaces”.

Badini was previously HR director and LLP board member at Peel Hunt, where she led the investment bank’s global HR strategy, succession planning and organisational development, as well as overseeing facilities management.

Her earlier career included senior HR and administrative leadership positions at Goodwin Procter, The Navigators Group and Heller Ehrman, alongside advisory roles with US start-ups and financial services firms.

Mount Street is the largest third-party CRE loan servicer in Europe with more than €155 billion of assets under management and more than 200 employees across the globe.

Stephan Plagemann, chief financial officer of Mount Street, said Badini would play “a key role in fostering a unified and inclusive culture across Mount Street’s global offices, drawing on her deep expertise in strategic HR and organisational transformation”.

Badini said she was committed to strengthening the company’s “people-first culture” as Mount Street looks to mirror its European success in the US.

She is a qualified executive coach with Meyler Campbell and mentors students preparing for their first professional roles, as well as advising HR professionals on long-term career progression. She has also undertaken executive education at London Business School in leading organisational change.
