Gresham Computing plc, the real-time financial applications provider, is expanding its operations in Asia Pacific with the opening of a new Malaysian office and the appointment of Gerrit Franzen as Sales Director for the region.
Gresham says Franzen’s appointment will enable the company to build on its reseller and implementation partnership with Wall Street Systems, better support its business in the region, and further promote Gresham’s Clareti applications to Asian banks and corporations.
Franzen will be responsible for all sales and customer relationships in the region and will report into John Pankhurst, Gresham’s managing director for the Asia Pacific. Franzen’s key objective is to expand the team of banking and treasury sales specialists to represent both Gresham’s flagship real-time financial solutions and Wall Street Systems’ treasury, trading and settlement systems.
“We are pleased to have Gerrit join our management team and this is further evidence of our commitment to the Wall Street Systems’ product portfolio, our local customers and the region,” says Pankhurst. “Gresham is investing heavily in the Asia-Pac region and this senior hire adds strength to our extensive expertise in treasury and payments.”
“Gresham has a proven track record as an integration specialist working with some of the largest banks and corporates in the Asia Pacific region,” says Franzen. “The strong partnership with Wall Street Systems will enable us to create significant growth opportunities and I am looking forward to building my team further while helping the firm to continue its momentum in this region.”
