Financial service company OpenFin has appointed Vicky Sanders as chief digital officer.
Based in the UK, Sanders will be responsible for digital transformation across the company’s ecosystem of buy-side and sell-side institutions, along with the global vendor community.
The appointment comes after ING Ventures invested US$10million into OpenFin to accelerate the expansion of OpenFin OS throughout the financial industry.
Sanders most recently served as chief commercial officer for TP ICAP Group’s agency execution division where she was responsible for overseeing the commercial strategy of the Liquidnet and Coex Partners businesses.
Prior to that, she co-founded RSRCHXchange in 2014, a fintech operating as an aggregator and marketplace for institutional research, leading the business through the acquisition by Liquidnet.
During her time at Liquidnet, Sanders was head of investment analytics, having developed a new division and product delivering insights to buy-side traders and portfolio managers, before Liquidnet’s acquisition by TP ICAP.
In her early career, Sanders was an executive director at Goldman Sachs, having started her career at Merrill Lynch.
Commenting on her appointment, Sanders says: “OpenFin is a well regarded fintech, underpinned by strong and trusted client relationships, innovative technology and an experienced team. I am excited to join at a time of strong momentum and look forward to working with such a talented team to unlock the power of OpenFin's network while shaping digital transformation across the industry and beyond.”
Adam Toms, chief operating officer at OpenFin, comments: “Vicky will work closely with financial institutions to improve employee empowerment, productivity, and interconnected experiences. This is more important than ever as organisations need to ensure that their teams work smarter, faster, and collaborate more effectively.”
