Leading financial software company corfinancial has bolstered its leadership with two key appointments to its salerio team.

To lead its ongoing strategic expansion, corfinancial has appointed David Veal as Senior Executive: Strategy and Product Management.

David will assume responsibility for positioning corfinancial as a market leader in the fast moving post execution services market in Europe and North America.

David, a respected industry specialist, will draw upon more than 30 years of experience in the financial services sector to build up on key strategic client wins in the enterprise and outsourcing sectors.

He brings a wealth of experience to the company, having previously held a number of senior leadership roles at specialist firms such as Simplex Consulting and Pentagon Consulting, where he was a founding director. Prior to these roles, David was head of operations at Rothschild Asset Management.

The company has also promoted Paul Bowen to Senior Executive: Operations and Client Delivery.

Paul will take overall charge of project client delivery, product software development and client support and maintenance.

He is tasked directly with building the capacity and capability that will enable the salerio team to keep pace with its ever increasing around the world 24/7 build, delivery and support commitments.

Paul has been part of the salerio team for over 15 years and has assumed more senior roles as his career has progressed within the team, joining initially as a project manager.

Paul started his career at Legal and General Investments as a performance analyst 25 years ago before moving to Yamaichi and then Rabobank as an analyst programmer.

Bruce Hobson, salerio’s Global Head: Post Execution Solutions, said: “We are really thrilled to make these announcements. David brings unsurpassed industry expertise that will allow us to engineer further strategic advantage into our product as well as up the pace of our international expansion plans.

“No one is better able than Paul to ensure that we continue to maintain, and then exceed further, the very high levels of client delivery, support and satisfaction our customers enjoy”.

Andrew Smith, Chief Executive Officer at corfinancial added: “For salerio to continue to achieve its forward looking strategic goals it is vital that we build an organisation that can scale properly.

“Both David and Paul will assume key executive responsibilities that will provide the key leadership that will allow us to achieve our growth targets.”
