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.”
