Torstone Technology has hired David Pearson to help strengthen the firm’s product focus and delivery.
Pearson brings more than 30 years of experience working in technology solutions for financial markets, focusing on workflow and automation in the front office and post-trade space.
Previously, he worked at Genesis Global, where he was responsible for post-trade workflow solutions.
Prior to that, Pearson spent 25 years at Fidessa, initially working with sell-side brokers and dealers to build and implement front and middle-office workflow solutions for equities, and more recently, with buy-side firms.
Additionally, he has also served as the co-chair of the FIX Trading Community’s global post trade working group.
Commenting on the appointment, Brian Collings, CEO of Torstone Technology, said: “We are delighted to have David Pearson join our team. As we continue to invest in building our global leadership team and extending our platform capabilities into new markets, Pearson’s deep post-trade product and industry experience, and specific expertise in middle-office solutions, will be an asset.”
Pearson, who will be based in Torstone’s London office, added: “Market volatility has recently become a key characteristic of capital markets, and there has arguably never been a more interesting time to bring new digital solutions to the post-trade industry. I am excited to join Torstone and its talented team to help further evolve its leading cloud platform, helping firms to move away from legacy systems and future-proof their operations.”
