Gresham Technologies has announced the hire of Robert McGowen as senior sales executive in North America, as part of the firm’s continued expansion in the US and Canada.
McGowen brings more than 20 years of fintech experience to the New York-based role, including expertise in areas of reference data and reconciliation transaction reporting, alongside corporate actions, treasury confirmations, cash management and intra-day liquidity.
He joins the global fintech firm from Duco, where he was previously positioned as senior sales executive.
Prior to this, McGowen held sales roles at SmartStream Technologies and RegTek Solutions, which have developed his understanding of complex middle-to-back-office problems, allowing him to help clients tackle the pain points currently facing the industry.
McGowan comments: “From complying with FINRA’s Consolidated Audit Trail demands to imminent Dodd-Frank reforms, the regulatory burden US financial institutions now face is consuming significant levels of cost and effort.
“Helping firms address these challenges in response to the ever-rising industry standards is at the heart of my role. The firm’s well-executed acquisition strategy and market-leading platform were key factors behind my decision to join.”
Rob Cohen, head of sales North America at Gresham Technologies, adds: “Gresham’s acquisition of Electra Information Systems last year provided a launchpad for growth in North America and securing a senior sales executive of Rob’s calibre has already expedited introductions across the industry.
“We know from conversations with our extensive regional client base that a complex and demanding regulatory environment is putting data and processes under more pressure than ever. Rob’s appointment enables us to work with even more firms to transform their operations with the goal of meeting the high standards set by regulators, and we are excited to have him as part of our team.”
