at this point of flux in world markets because with change, comes
opportunity. We are in an age where demand for real-time information is
clear and yet largely unfulfilled in many areas of both the banking and
corporate markets. I am excited to be taking on this new challenge and
joining a team that has a track record of innovation, development and
delivery of market leading real-time financial solutions. Gresham has
done the heavy lifting in getting these solutions to market and I now
intend to rapidly increase Gresham´s profile
and ensure that the demands for real-time financial information are met."
