Pirum chief operating officer and head of the Americas, Robert Zekraus, has left Pirum.

Zekraus joined the London and New York-based securities finance specialist in May 2021, having previously served at Scotiabank for more than six years, rising to managing director for global banking, markets and prime services.

Before Scotiabank, Zekraus worked for more than 15 years at Barclays Investment Bank, in both New York and London. During this period, Zekraus was head of US securities lending and worked in the equity finance funding and financing sales division.

Speaking to SFT, Pirum chief executive Philip Morgan indicated that his team is grateful for everything that Zekraus has done for the company over the past three years, during which Pirum has expanded its client coverage, grown its US footprint and accelerated its service coverage across all products.

Most recently, this includes the roll out of Pirum’s recalls solution, which will help clients to position themselves for the transition to T+1 settlement.

Commenting on his time with the company, Bob Zekraus says: “I am happy to have leveraged my industry expertise and strong relationships to help Pirum expand globally.

"The framework, team and client connectivity are now firmly established in the US and the region is now well positioned to contribute to the overall success and growth of the company.”

Morgan adds: “I would like to thank Bob for his contribution in developing our footprint in North America. In 2024 our investment in the team and products will continue to grow as we assist our clients in meeting evolving market infrastructure challenges, such as those around the move to T+1. There is more to come very soon.”
