Pirum Systems has taken on Robert Keane as product manager from BMO Global Asset Management.
Keane will focus on improving Pirum’s product offering as well working on projects described by Pirum as “innovative opportunities that are being explored in greater detail”.
Based in London, Keane will report to Robert Frost, head of product development.
Keane previously ran the agency lending programme at F&C Investments between 2014 and 2016, maintaining his position when F&C was acquired by BMO Global Asset Management in 2015.
“I am delighted to welcome Robert Keane into our product team which further strengthens our ability to meet the needs of customers as they deal with the diverse demands of managing efficiency, operational risk and capital requirements, ” said Frost.
“Robert’s broad understanding of the securities lending industry, particularly from the beneficial owner side will greatly benefit our team, and our clients.”
Keane added: “Pirum has an outstanding reputation in the market for delivering superior technology intertwined with excellent customer service and I am excited to be joining such a dynamic company and working alongside a talented set of individuals.”
In addition to Keane joining the company, Mark Schilling, global head of sales, has left after just over a year at the business.
Schilling, who is also based in London, moved to Pirum after just over a three-year tenure as managing director at Scotiabank.
A replacement has not yet been appointed.
