FinOptSys, a securities finance platform that launched in May, has appointed Elizabeth Rotem as director of business development.
Based in New York, Rotem will lead new product development as well as global sales, strategy and the expansion efforts of FinOptsys. She will help drive new customer relationships while strengthening existing ones around the world.
Rotem brings over 18 years of experience in front end sales, trading and relationship management. Most recently, she was a managing director in the Macro Products Group at Guggenheim Securities, where she led relationship management for her division. In this role, she was responsible for developing and cultivating relationships, including those with hedge funds, municipalities, mortgage REITs, pensions, banks and agency lenders.
Prior to this, Rotem was vice president at Morgan Stanley, focusing on sourcing and structuring term funding trades. Previously, she worked as a repo trader at both Merrill Lynch and Dresdner Bank.
Divyesh Bhakta and Anand Krishnan, FinOptsys’ Co-CEO’s say: “As FinOptSys continues to grow and expand its product offerings, across all asset classes and trade types, we could not have hoped to hire anyone better than Liz to help drive new product and sales initiatives, especially in the FICC space.”
