Taskize, a Euroclear-owned fintech, has appointed David Williams as chief financial officer.
Based in London, Williams will be responsible for leading and managing Taskize’s financial operations, as well as providing strategic insight into financial performance to internal and external stakeholders.
He brings more than 15 years of experience in financial leadership positions at major investment banks to his new role.
Most recently, Williams held an executive role at global asset manager Janus Henderson, having previously spent almost a decade in senior positions at Morgan Stanley and Barclays Investment Bank.
He says: “As firms prepare for major operational shifts, not least the transition to T+1 settlement in the UK and EU, collaborative technology like Taskize’s platform will be essential in delivering a seamless transition.
“I’m excited to help ensure Taskize is well-positioned to continue delivering this support as it scales.”
Diederik Geeraerts, CEO of Taskize, adds: “David’s previous positions make him an invaluable source of expertise for Taskize.
“With regulatory complexity increasing across global markets, his leadership will be invaluable as we continue to help clients navigate an ever-evolving post-trade landscape.”
The news follows shortly after the appointments of Helen Adair as chief product officer, along with Alfred Escobedo as head of business development for the LatAm region.
