Pivot Solutions, a communications network for institutional investors, has appointed Lou Eccleston as chairman and chief executive officer.
A seasoned financial executive who served in key management roles at Bloomberg L.P. and Thomson Financial, Eccleston is charged with further positioning Pivot Solutions and IMTRADER as the preferred network for communication and collaboration for institutional investors and their supporting firms, customers and partners, the company said in a release.
“Customers are looking to adopt and deploy new technologies that will create some proprietary advantage and better leverage an organization’s portfolio of assets,” Eccleston said. “The adoption of instant messaging technology continues increasing as both sell- and buy-side firms recognize its role in accelerating communication, collaboration, information management, research and trading. Pivot Solutions will continue building a reliable, compliant and scalable platform that allows for strong growth and provides superior customer service to capitalize on further market expansion.”
Pivot Solutions’ IMTRADER integrates instant messaging, information management, research and trading technology to provide productivity and customer service tools for institutional investment professionals.
