Tom Carey, president of securities processing solutions international at Broadridge, said: “Drumm brings a wealth of in-depth experience to Broadridge and we are confident that he will have a major impact on our presence in this strategically important region.”
The expansion of sales and relationship management resources is part of an ongoing strategic programme of investment and focus for Broadridge in the Asia Pacific region.
Recent initiatives have included solution developments to facilitate new market connectivity in Japan, India and Singapore.
Broadridge has also expanded Gloss’s multi-asset capabilities to include processing for a range of treasury and derivatives instruments, including futures, options and swaps.
Drumm added: “As firms grapple with increasing regulatory pressures in a challenging economic climate, I am delighted to be joining a company that has demonstrated a strong track record of success and an exemplary commitment to the highest standards of customer service. Broadridge is extremely well-positioned to offer compelling solutions to the unique countries that make up the dynamic Asia Pacific territory.”
