Securities finance services provider Pirum has appointed Sarah Hamid as key account director.
Based in London, Hamid will work to accelerate the global adoption of the firm’s suite of post-trade services across securities lending, repo and futures.
She will focus on combining Pirum’s client service with her knowledge of how enterprises can use multi-product tech suites to further their strategy, reduce outgoings and gain a competitive edge.
Hamid brings more than 16 years of experience in managing accounts, sales and business development at fintech and financial services firms in the UK, Germany and France.
She joins Pirum from data analytics technology provider ActiveViam, where she was most recently senior global account manager.
Previously, Hamid acted as country CEO for France at logistics firm Move24 where she managed a sales team of 20.
She began her financial markets career in 2007 as a fixed income broker on interest rates futures and options, first at JB Drax and then at Tradition Securities and Futures.
Commenting on her new role, Hamid says: “I am thrilled to be working with a strong leadership team which is skilled in being forward-looking, strategic and decisive, while being guided by the long-term interests of its clients, as well as the firm’s people and its wider communities.”
