Portware LLC, provider of global, broker-neutral, multi-asset trading and strategy systems, has opened its Hong Kong office to support its growing client base in the Asia- Pacific region.
Damian Bierman, formerly head of FIX Product Services at trading solutions provider NYFIX, in Hong Kong, has been appointed to head up the Portware Hong Kong office and oversee day-to-day operations. The office will focus on implementation management and support, and is staffed by regional specialists and experienced project managers from Portware’s US headquarters.
“The region is in a strong growth period and financial institutions are beginning to generate a momentum similar to their US and European counterparts in the adoption of automated trading technology,” says Damian Bierman, head of Asian operations.
Eric Goldberg, chief executive officer, Portware, adds: “The Hong Kong office is a natural extension to our offices in New York, London and India. With a dedicated and experienced team on the ground we are better able to service our Asia-Pacific clients and work closely with them to meet their trading requirements.”
