Pirum has appointed Carmine Salute as head of commercial development, Americas.
Based in New York, Salute’s primary focus will be on accelerating the growth of the firm’s footprint across the US, Canada, and Mexico, as well as identifying opportunities in South America.
He will also lead the team’s efforts to provide existing clients with benefits — including reduced costs, increased efficiency, and improved P&L — from Pirum’s complete and connected lifecycle offering.
Salute brings over 25 years of sales and industry experience to his new role, and moves to the firm from S&P Global Market Intelligence.
In his previous position as managing director and global head of sales for lending solutions, his global team provided high-touch client service complemented by streamlined approaches to financial risk management and regulatory compliance challenges.
Salute’s prior roles include head of Americas sales for regulatory compliance, as well as director of sales for KYC.com at IHS Markit, following senior sales roles at Thomson Reuters after having begun his career specialising in market data at Bloomberg.
Commenting on his appointment, Salute says: “What attracted me most is the complete lifecycle coverage — from securities lending to fixed income to collateral management — and the opportunity to show clients how connecting these solutions drives serious P&L improvements.
“I’ve met the teams in New York and London, and the talent and energy are exceptional. The next few years are going to be pivotal in establishing Pirum as a leading name in North America, just as it already is in EMEA, and I’m ready to make it happen.”
Ben Challice, CEO at Pirum, adds: “His background and experience are perfectly suited to lead our continued investment in growing our North American presence.
“The quality of his insight, leadership skills and sales approach — combining top-notch products with white glove service — are well-known throughout the industry. I look forward to collaborating with Carmine, seeing where he leads our Americas operations over the coming years.”
