3d Innovations (3di) has tapped Roderick Manzie as COO of the data management consultancy. Manzie joins the Board and will manage the legal, commercial and financial aspects of the company to build an infrastructure for growth. The appointment marks a point of significant growth for 3di, as it prepares for the continued rapid market adoption of its Profiler and Data Compliance and Dependency Management (DCDM) market data solutions through 2012.
Stephen Veasey, CEO, 3di, said, “Cost savings are back on the agenda for all financial institutions in today’s challenging markets. 3d Innovations' detailed industry knowledge and supporting intelligent market data solutions provide immediate return on investment for our global client base. The company’s significant growth in 2011 clearly demonstrates the value we provide; we have doubled in size over the past year and forecast continued expansion through 2012.”
Manzie is a market veteran. Co-founder of MSB Consultants in 1990, he was responsible for finance, commercial and administration from startup mode to the firm’s ultimate multi-million pound sterling acquisition by NASDAQ-listed New era of Networks (NEON).
Commenting on his appointment, Roderick Manzie, COO, 3di, said, “3d Innovations provides exactly what the market needs in these times of austerity – and that is the ability to dramatically cut costs and mitigate compliance exposures without any negative impact on daily business, service levels or efficiencies. The cost impact of data provision, storage and management within buy and sell side firms is enormous. 3d Innovations brings this area back under control and enables the operational functions to make intelligent decisions that will help future proof their entire organisation.”
