Global fintech Gresham Technologies plc (Gresham) has announced the appointment of Rob McGowan as Senior Sales Executive in North America as part of the company’s continued expansion in the US and Canada.

Bringing more than 20 years of fintech experience, Rob’s expertise spans the fundamental areas of reference data and reconciliation transaction reporting, alongside corporate actions, treasury confirmations, cash management, and intra-day liquidity. Joining from Duco, Rob’s previous sales roles at SmartStream Technologies and RegTek Solutions have developed his deep understanding of complex middle-to-back-office problems, allowing him to help clients tackle the pain points currently facing the industry.

Rob McGowan, Senior Sales Executive, Gresham Technologies:

“From complying with FINRA’s Consolidated Audit Trail demands to imminent Dodd-Frank reforms, the regulatory burden US financial institutions now face is consuming significant levels of cost and effort. Helping firms address these challenges in response to the ever-rising industry standards is at the heart of my role. The firm’s well-executed acquisition strategy and market-leading platform were key factors behind my decision to join.”

Rob Cohen, Head of Sales North America, Gresham Technologies:

“Gresham’s acquisition of Electra Information Systems last year provided a launchpad for growth in North America and securing a Senior Sales Executive of Rob’s calibre has already expedited introductions across the industry. We know from conversations with our extensive regional client base that a complex and demanding regulatory environment is putting data and processes under more pressure than ever. Rob’s appointment enables us to work with even more firms to transform their operations with the goal of meeting the high standards set by regulators, and we’re excited to have him as part of our team.”

Rob McGowan, who joined in Q1, is based out of Gresham’s New York office and sells Gresham’s entire suite of data, regulatory, and technology solutions to both buy-side and sell-side institutions.
