Pirum Systems has brought on Morgan Stanley’s Harold Bergson as a technical lead to develop its enhanced product set.
He will be based in London, reporting to Matthew Lyons, Pirum’s head of IT.
According to Pirum, Bergson has a background in building innovative securities finance technology solutions for banks and broker-dealers.
Prior to serving at Morgan Stanley, Bergson led the Europe, Middle East and Africa front-office securities lending technology team at Citi and also held roles at Barclays and Credit Suisse.
“I am delighted to welcome Harold Bergson into the Pirum tech team. We pride ourselves on being very strong technologists with solid business knowledge and adding someone of Harold’s calibre demonstrates this and means we can increase delivery capacity while maintaining our high quality,” said Lyons.
“Harold has a deep understanding of securities lending and repo trading from a sell-side perspective and is able to combine this with his technical design and development skills to deliver solutions which provide significant benefit to our clients.”
Ben Challice, COO at Pirum, added: “Harold joining Pirum supports the trend of talented individuals defecting from banks in order to join growth opportunities in financial services but outside of the constrained environments of their previous firms.”
