Pirum Systems has appointed Matthew Lilien as a director within its business development team as part of its North America expansion.
Lilien, who is based in New York, joins Pirum after 14 years at J.P. Morgan, where he has served as international equity finance vice president since August 2013.
Prior to that, he worked in hedge fund credit as an associate for just under two years, and before that held roles in public finance as an analyst and in structured credit.
“Pirum is a great company with a market-leading product suite offering,” says Lilien. “It’s also a trusted provider to many of the largest and most important financial institutions across the globe.
“I am excited to be joining the team and leveraging my experiences to help lead the continued growth of its North America presence.”
Previous senior management hires include Alex Rothwell
who joined Pirum earlier this month as its first chief technology officer, Karl Wyborn
who joined Pirum from CloudMargin as chief commercial officer and global head of sales, and Jat Soomal Pirum’s chief financial officer.
Speaking exclusively to SFT in September, Morgan outlined plans to double the firm’s North American presence
as part of a “natural evolution” to meet the automation requirements in its clients in the US and Canada.
Pirum has a small team based in a New York office and Morgan aims to double this over the next 18 months.
“We will also be adding products in the coming year and we are very fortunate to have the support of some major market participants in this pursuit,” he said.
