Wolters Kluwer has hired Claudio Salinardi to lead its global finance, risk and reporting business as executive vice president and general manager.
Salinardi has replaced Clive Pedder, who has stepped down from the position in order to pursue outside career and personal interests. Pedder worked with Wolters Kluwer for more than four years.
Most recently, Salinardi was global head of strategic alliances at ICE Data Services. In this role, Salinardi was responsible for managing the firm’s relationships with its largest and most influential partners.
Prior to ICE, Salinardi spent more than 10 years with Thomson Reuters in senior roles, which lead to its fixed-income business globally. He has also held positions at J.P. Morgan and ABN AMRO among other financial institutions.
Based in London, Salinardi will be responsible for the global operations of the finance, risk and reporting business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), Asia Pacific (APAC) and the Americas.
He will report directly to Richard Flynn, New York-based CEO, and will be tasked with helping financial institutions address their integrated regulatory compliance and reporting challenges.
Flynn, said: “Claudio Salinardi joins us at a particularly interesting time for the finance, risk and reporting business. More than ever global regulators are demanding greater integration across business processes at banks and faster reactions to changing regulation. This business has developed cutting-edge technology to allow clients to adopt agile and innovative approaches to managing their ever important finance, risk and reporting obligations.”
He added: “I very much look forward to working with Salinardi and would also like to thank Pedder for his leadership and dedication, wishing him well in his future endeavours.”
Commenting on his new appointment, Salinardi said: “It’s incredibly exciting to be joining the leading business for integrated regulatory compliance and reporting technology solutions globally. Wolters Kluwer is well positioned to continue its growth and expansion by helping clients comply with rapid and unpredictable regulatory change. I look forward to working with the talented team of experts here to ensure our existing and new clients have access to the best possible technological solutions.”
