Calastone, a global funds network, has appointed Ed Lopez as chief revenue officer (CRO), who will strategically expand the company’s new institutional money market offering.
Calastone’s Money Market Services (MMS) helps companies, public sector organisations and financial institutions balance their security, liquidity and yield objectives when investing surplus cash.
In addition to expanding this offering, Lopez will also focus on growing the business across the globe.
Most recently, he served as CRO at wealth management software provider JHC, now part of FNZ.
Prior to JHC, Lopez was head of sales and business development for OpenLink’s (now part of Ion) Europe, the Middle East, and Africa business, which included the firm’s corporate treasury management solutions.
During his career, Lopez has gained 25 years of experience in asset management, wealth management and treasury industries, and he has previously also built the sales function for SunGard’s (now FIS) UK broker dealer, building the institutional money market fund portal and network internationally.
Commenting on his appointment, Lopez said: “I’m excited to join Calastone at such an important stage in its development and to work with some of the best talent in the investment funds sector.”
“As fund organisations globally seek to digitalise, increase efficiency and improve investor experience and returns, Calastone’s role will become increasingly important as it expands its product suite and technology.”
Julien Hammerson, CEO at Calastone, commented: “I am delighted to welcome Lopez to Calastone’s senior leadership team, he brings with him extensive industry experience and a proven track record in driving customer success.”
