Arcesium, the global financial technology firm headquartered in New York, has appointed Chris Barrow as head of business development for Europe.
Barrow who will be based in the new London office will be looking to expand Arcesium’s geographic reach and meet the needs of its international clients.
The new head of business development has more than 20 years of experience in law, banking, and financial technology. He joins from NEX where he was head of ENSO financial analytics in Europe for two years.
Before that, Barrow was the global head of fintech revenue at Brown Brothers Harriman. He has also led the global sales teams for both Nomura and HSBC’s prime services divisions.
"As we continue to grow and diversify our client base, we have seen a significant uptick of
interest from the European market," says Gaurav Suri, chief executive officer of Arcesium.
"Our decision to expand into the European market and open up a London office is a
strategic one. We continue to make investments in global talent to further enhance our
position as a world-class financial technology and professional services firm, and Chris is a
reflection of that. We are thrilled to have him join our team” Suri concludes.
Barrow adds: “I am privileged to be opening the Arcesium London office and leading our growth into Europe. Investment Management has an increasing focus on post-trade technology to build resilience, enhance governance, and increase efficiencies.
“Arcesium has built its reputation on directing highly flexible resources, expertise, and technology at complex problems, so I believe we have a tremendous opportunity to work with clients here in Europe.”
