Nasdaq has appointed Andrew Murray as senior vice president, Financial Technology, Asia Pacific, which the firm says strengthens its senior presence in one of the world’s most dynamic regions.
Based in Singapore, Murray’s aim will be to deepen Nasdaq’s Financial Technology client partnerships and accelerate business growth across Asia Pacific, supporting financial institutions as they deliver on their technology and transformation priorities.
These developments position Nasdaq to help advance the region’s technology and capital markets ambitions.
Murray brings more than three decades of experience leading teams and building long-term client partnerships at financial technology companies serving treasury, trading, corporate banking, and capital markets clients.
Most recently, he served as a leader in International Banking and Payments at FIS, where he supported clients across the full banking and payments value chain.
His career includes senior international leadership positions at FIS in Banking & Markets and Post-Trade Solutions, as well as previous experience at Calypso Technology (now part of Nasdaq), SunGard, Wall Street Systems and Deutsche Bank.
Murray’s appointment follows the relocation to Singapore of Bob McCooey, vice chairman and head of International Listings, a move that Nasdaq says enhances its engagement with the region’s companies and their access to global capital.
With more than two decades at Nasdaq, McCooey has partnered with many of the region’s most innovative companies on their journeys to the global capital markets.
Being based in Singapore will facilitate closer collaboration with clients, partners, and local market ecosystems, says the firm.
Valerie Bannert-Thurner, executive vice president and chief revenue officer, Financial Technology at Nasdaq, says: “Andrew’s strong track record of helping financial institutions solve complex technology challenges will be invaluable as our clients navigate this rapidly changing landscape. Alongside Bob and our teams across the region, we are committed to being a trusted, long-term partner to Asia Pacific’s market ecosystems.”
McCooey adds: “Asia Pacific’s ambition is reshaping the global economy, and the region’s companies and investors increasingly seek access to deep, global pools of capital to fuel that growth.
“Strengthening our presence on the ground will allow us to work more closely with the region’s companies, investors and market participants, and deepen our role as a long-term partner across Asia Pacific. Together, we can bring the full breadth of Nasdaq to support the innovation and economic growth that define this region.”
