SunGard Astec Analytics has made two appointments to its North American team as it works on building its relationships with beneficial owners in the securities lending space.
Tom Kirdahy has been promoted to senior vice president, sales, for North America. He will have a specific focus on the beneficial owner market, said Tim Smith, executive vice president at the firm.
"Astec Analytics has been built on the back of our relationships with beneficial owners and this is further recognition of that effort," said Smith. "We have increasingly been looking at the qualitative side of the market - we are receiving more requests for a quasi-advisory service and Tom's experience and strengths are in this area."
Joining Kirdahy is Bill Mauer, who has moved from PNC to become vice president, North America. "Bill has real expertise in the agent lending and beneficial owner space," said Smith.
