We are in an age where demand for real-time information is clear and yet largely unfulfilled in many areas of both the banking and corporate markets. I am excited to be taking on this new challenge and joining a team that has a track record of innovation, development and delivery of market leading real-time financial solutions. Gresham has done the heavy lifting in getting these solutions to market and I now intend to rapidly increase Gresham’s profile and ensure that the demands for real-time financial information are met.”
