Pirum Systems, a provider of post-trade automation and collateral management technology, has expanded its board with the appointment of Neal Anderson as chair.
Anderson brings extensive experience to the role in leading and growing businesses, with expertise in developing strategy, scaling and driving digitalisation with enterprise customers.
He will take over from Donal Smith, who has held the position of chairman at Pirum for the last eight years. Smith will continue to work closely with the business in a board advisory capacity.
Anderson joins the firm from a 25-year term with Wood Mackenzie, a research, data and analytics provider to the global energy and commodities industries.
He held a number of senior positions during his term with the company, including his most recent role as president and CEO.
Commenting on the announcement, Pirum CEO Phil Morgan says: “Neal brings significant experience in scaling businesses as we continue to grow across multiple products and geographies. I would like to thank Donal for steering Pirum so adeptly as a chair through a period of significant growth and evolution.”
Anderson adds: “Pirum is an exceptional company with a powerful vision and a long-term track record of growth and product innovation for its clients. I am excited to work with the board and Pirum’s team of experts to accelerate the global growth of the business.”
As chair, Neal will lead the board with the aim of putting Pirum in an advantageous position, as the firm continues to focus on innovation, launching new products and building a high-quality platform that aims to drive further efficiency and productivity gains for its customers.
