Post-trade solutions provider Taskize has appointed Alan Samuel as global head of sales.
Based in London, he will be responsible for continuing to drive the growth Taskize has experienced globally this year.
Samuel has more than 30 years of experience in market infrastructure. Most recently, he held the role of chief sales officer of London Stock Exchange listed low-latency cloud provider Beek’s Group. Prior to this, he was an account director at Equinix.
Before Equinix, Samuel served at BGC Partners, where he focused on the management of e-FX institutional sales.
The growth of the Taskize’s network has been driven by the wave of new regulations such as the Settlement Discipline Regime of the Central Securities Depository Regulation and the Uncleared Margin Rules, along with industry initiatives such as T+1 settlement.
Commenting on his new role, Samuel says: “Taskize is leading the way in post-trade issue resolution for the financial services industry. As an innovator in the field of post-trade financial technology, I am excited to join the Taskize leadership team and be a part of the next phase of their growth story.”
Philip Slavin, CEO of Taskize, adds: “Alan’s background dovetails perfectly with our sales strategy. As more market participants look for solutions that facilitate faster and more efficient resolution of settlement breaks and margin disputes, Alan’s industry experience makes him ideally placed to help drive our continued expansion.”
