Quod Financial have appointed Andy Menzies as executive vice President, sales and marketing.
Formerly vice president of worldwide sales for Apama, the algorithmic trading division of Progress Software, Menzies will be responsible for the company’s electronic trading across all segments of the capital markets.
Reporting directly to Ali Pichvai, founder and managing director, Menzies brings more than 20 years of software industry experience to Quod Financial.
“Quod Financial is clearly very well placed to capitalise on the fast-paced, technology-hungry landscape of the capital markets. With the fragmentation of liquidity and the emergence of new venues, coupled with the lack of true cross-asset capable trading solutions, Quod Financial has a more than compelling proposition,” says Menzies.
“We are delighted to have Andy on the team. The capital markets continue to evolve at a tremendous pace, and as the appetite for cross-asset trading strategies continue to grow the need to implement the appropriate tools to capitalise on this revolution become increasingly important. 2008 will be a great year for us as we continue to add new and richer functionality to our platform and expand our client and partner base,” adds Pichavi.
