SaaS-based provider of buy- and sell-side trading solutions LiquidityBook has announced the appointment of Ryan Canfield as Lead Product Analyst.
Canfield joins the company from Broadridge Financial Solutions, where he spent seven years after joining the firm following its 2012 acquisition of Paladyne Systems. At Broadridge, he came to head a global team of 40 developers and product specialists as Senior Director of Product Management.
At LiquidityBook, Canfield is in charge of building a team that will manage all product enhancements, working closely with the deployment and client services groups. The firm’s POEMS (portfolio, order and execution management system) platform will benefit from Canfield’s work as it rapidly implements customers’ needs and priorities.
Sean Sullivan, Chief Revenue Officer at LiquidityBook, said:
“More and more, clients are turning to next-generation systems like ours to replace legacy OMS platforms. That typically means considerable work to meet their particular workflow and process needs, which our fully SaaS-based platform can accommodate seamlessly. We’re thrilled to further build out our product group with the addition Ryan, who will lead the way in delivering best-in-class investment management solutions built to match our clients’ unique demands.”
Ryan Canfield also commented on the appointment:
“I’ve spent the better part of my career working with buy-side clients to design and deliver technology solutions crafted to meet their specific needs, but the ability to effect these client-driven enhancements at LiquidityBook is like nothing I’ve previously experienced. I couldn’t be more excited to get started with the LiquidityBook client service, product and technology teams and begin working to provide highly-tailored solutions to our growing roster of users.”
LiquidityBook has expanded its global client base by nearly 25% in 2017 alone as legacy platform displacements at larger fund managers were found to be the largest driver of growth over the past year. The firm appointed Matthew Howard as Head of APAC Client Service in March 2018 and expanded EMEA team with Nicholas Thompson in June 2018.
