OpenFin, the operating system for financial desktops, announced that Adam Toms has joined the company as chief executive officer Europe.
In his new role, Toms will be focused on driving industry-wide adoption of OpenFin’s vendor-neutral platform, which enables rapid, secure innovation for all market participants.
Toms brings more than 20 years of financial markets experience to his new role. He is currently a board member of RSRCHXchange, which, in the space of three years, has been recognized as a leading marketplace for financial research. Earlier, Toms served for four years as chief executive officer of Instinet Europe, and was responsible for managing its brokerage operations and business strategy in the EMEA region. Under his leadership, Instinet achieved record market share and profitability.
“While we were born on Wall Street, the reality is that we are solving problems across capital markets globally, and see just as much, if not more, demand for OpenFin in Europe,” said Mazy Dar, chief executive officer and cofounder of OpenFin. “With Adam’s track record at Instinet and the stellar reputation he has earned in our industry, his arrival is a significant signal to the market place that OpenFin OS will be the solution that unifies global capital markets in a single, secure, and interconnected ecosystem.”
