ConvergEx has named Chris O’Connor as head of Australian sales for its order management system, the Eze OMSTM. He was most recently director of European sales for ConvergEx’s Eze Castle Software and is succeeded by Christopher Kyriakou.

Mr Kyriakou joins ConvergEx from Global View Software, where he was director of sales for Europe, Africa and the Mideast. At ConvergEx, he will be based in London and will oversee all European sales and business development for the Eze OMS. Prior to his time at Global View Software, he spent eight years within Thomson Financial’s business development and sales force.

Both Mr O’Connor and Mr Kyriakou will report to Sean Sullivan, executive vice president and head of global sales for ConvergEx’s Eze Castle Software.

Mr Sullivan said: “With these appointments, we remain committed to providing cutting-edge investment technology solutions and top-tier product support to clients around the globe. Leveraging the extensive knowledge of Mr O’Connor will enable ConvergEx to grow our product reach in Australia, an important and growing market.

“We are also very pleased to welcome Mr Kyriakou to ConvergEx. He has over 18 years of regional sales experience and a proven track record that will play a key role in further expanding our European presence. Both gentlemen have led highly successful business development strategies, established key client relationships and possess deep knowledge of financial technology solutions.”
