SteelEye has appointed Rob Friend (pictured above) as chief operating officer, effective immediately.

Friend will be responsible for scaling the firm’s business operations, including optimised internal workflows, client integration and customer engagement, in preparation for its support of the increasing global demand for data-centric compliance solutions.

Most recently, he served as global head of enterprise product implementation and quality assurance at Bloomberg, where he was responsible for designing product strategy and go-to market processes for the second Markets in Financial Instruments Directive solutions.

The appointment, which allows co-founder David Haines to resume the role of chief technology officer, comes as the firm prepares to expand into North America and Asia Pacific regions.

Matt Smith, CEO of SteelEye, comments: “As we continue our growth trajectory, Rob Friend will be instrumental in ensuring our internal operations platform can support our fast pace of growth. His experience scaling global businesses will be valuable as we prepare to expand our operations into new jurisdictions.”

Friend adds: “I look forward to working with Matt Smith and the SteelEye team to help expand the business internationally and cement SteelEye’s position as the emerging market leader for compliance technology and data management.”
