Mighter Gissing Software has re-launched itself as Gissing Software. The company says the change reflects the growing reputation of its market data “multi-contribution solution,” ConteX MCS.
Clients include tier one banks and brokers such as ABN AMRO, Royal Bank of Scotland, Merrill Lynch and GFI.
Gissing Software also has a new management team. Mike Vieyra was appointed as the new CEO in January 2004. Three new appointments were made in June 2004, including Peter McKenna who joined as marketing director and Nigel Bell and Deanna Sullivan who joined as business development managers.
Mike Vieyra has worked in software and financial services for over 25 years, starting in software development at Reuters and Digital Equipment Corporation (now HP). He joined a consultancy company in 1984, and since then he has been involved in setting-up a number of new companies and raising capital for others.
The founder of the company, Richard Gissing, will now focus on his new role of chief technology officer.
Peter McKenna has over 20 years experience in sales, marketing and product management in financial technology. He joined Gissing Software from Misys Asset Management Systems and has also worked at Reuters and Interactive Investor International.
Mike Murton, Gissing Software’s sales director, has appointed the new business development managers to help with the expansion and increased interest in Gissing’s products. Nigel Bell joins Gissing from Cicada, with experience of working at Thomson Financial and Reuters and Deanna Sullivan has come from Bridge Information Systems.
“Gissing Software has a long and successful track record in providing industrial-strength, market data multi-contribution solutions,” says Mike Vieyra. “This financial and technical expertise has provided the backdrop for a natural development path for new products encompassing trade capture and STP interfaces. As we experience this period of rapid growth we will vigorously preserve our reputation of service excellence and meet the needs of the increasing numbers of financial institutions turning to us for help.”
