OM Technology says Paul Bennett, Senior Vice President Market Operations at International Securities Exchange (ISE), will join OM Technology as President of OM Technology for the Asia Pacific region.
Bennett has 25 years of combined financial markets and information technology experience. He joins OM from ISE, where he was instrumental in establishing ISE as the world’s largest equity options exchange. As Senior Vice President of Market Operations, he is responsible for daily operations, product development for ISE trading systems and the project management office.
Prior to joining ISE, Bennett worked for the Australian Stock Exchange where he managed the project to migrate the trading of ASX Options products from the trading floor based market to a fully electronic market.
Bennett will relocate from New York to Sydney to assume his new position on 1 August. He will report to Klas Stehl, President OM Technology.
“I am very much looking forward to taking up these new challenges with OM. I am certainly looking forward to further establishing OM’s presence in Asia Pacific, and to continuing to develop the financial markets infrastructure in the region,” says Bennett.
“We are delighted to welcome Mr Bennett on board as a part of our executive management team. He will not only add his experience of building and operating a world-class exchange, but also help us forge our business in Asia and the Pacific region,” adds Klas Stehl.
