Markit has appointed Anna Mazzone as Head of Sales and Marketing for BOAT, the MiFID-compliant trade reporting platform.
Markit has managed BOAT’s business operations since January 2007. Her responsibilities include the distribution of BOAT’s three key services:
BOAT Trade Reporting which will enable clients to report their OTC equity trades in compliance with MiFID.
BOAT Data which will allow clients to view OTC equity market data.
BOAT Datafeed, a service designed for algorithmic trading.
Prior to joining Markit, Mazzone worked at SuperDerivatives for two years where she was responsible for European sales and customer support. Previously, she was a senior vice president at Reuters responsible for global accounts and product management.
“Much has been said about the burden that MiFID is putting on financial institutions but there has been little discussion about the opportunities it will bring. BOAT capitalises on these opportunities and I look forward to developing the sales effort around this innovative product in the coming months,” says Mazzone.
