OSTTRA, a global post-trade solutions provider, has appointed Keith Tippell as head of foreign exchange (FX).
In this role, Tippell will lead the OSTTRA’s FX business, driving the strategy and development of its services for the FX community.
He brings more than two decades of leadership experience in capital markets and fintech, with a proven track record in post-trade services for OTC derivatives and FX.
He returns to the business after previously serving as head of FX for MarkitServ, one of the founding businesses that combined to form OSTTRA in 2021.
Most recently, Tippell served as chief product officer at CLS Group, and has also held the role of head of FX and Securities Markets for SWIFT.
Susan Schulte, chief product officer at OSTTRA, says: “We are thrilled to welcome Keith to the OSTTRA product leadership team. Keith is a highly respected industry leader whose deep understanding of the FX and OTC derivatives landscapes will be invaluable as we continue to integrate and scale our services.
“His proven track record of innovation and collaboration across the industry aligns perfectly with our ambition to connect counterparties, streamline complex workflows, and turn shared infrastructure into shared benefit for our global clients.”
Tippell adds: “I am delighted to join OSTTRA at such a pivotal moment. Having spent over twenty years focused on post-trade, I know firsthand the critical role OSTTRA plays in the global FX markets.
“It is also an exciting personal milestone to return to the foundations built during my time at Markit. I look forward to working closely with the team, our clients and the wider industry to drive the next wave of post-trade transformation and efficiency.”
