LiquidityBook has appointed Alexander Ponyrko as Principal Software Engineer, where he will be responsible for a range of development initiatives around the firm’s industry-leading POEMS (portfolio, order, and execution management system) platform and reporting directly to CTO Shawn Samuel.
The leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS)-based provider of buy- and sell-side trading solutions hired Ponyrko for its more than a decade of experience as a technologist, and in response to growing demand from fund managers who increasingly abandon legacy technology providers in favor of more agile, web-based models. He will be working closely with LiquidityBook’s client service organization to help rapidly implement client-driven development priorities.
Sean Sullivan, Chief Revenue Officer at LiquidityBook, commented: “As more fund managers have begun to see the benefits of a SaaS-based software provider, our business has grown considerably. As a result, client demand for technology that can be seamlessly integrated into complex workflows is greater than ever. We are thrilled to add Alex, who will lead the way in developing solutions that will keep our clients at the forefront of the investment management space.”
Alexander Ponyrko, Principal Software Engineer, added: “Throughout my career, I have enjoyed the challenge of building industry-leading solutions with a user-first sensibility. With its dedication to providing client-driven enhancements, it is clear to me that LiquidityBook shares these values. I am truly excited about the work we are doing to help our clients trade as efficiently and effectively as possible.”
Ponyrko joined LiquidityBook from aPriori, where he spent 11 years at a number of team leading roles and most recently held the title of Senior Principal Software Engineer. Prior to aPriori, he was co-op Software Engineer at Kronos for a year.
