SmartStream Technologies has
appointed Peter Moss as CEO of the SmartStream Reference Data Utility (RDU). He joins the data management service, established by Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and SmartStream, after a 25-year career with Thomson Reuters. During his tenure there, he established the Thomson Reuters Enterprise business, responsible for data and technology operations for the Financial Markets business as CTO and most recently led the Financial Division.
Moss says: “This is an exciting time for the RDU as we deliver the service for our customers. Industry demand for a reference data managed service has been significant and I can see excellent market potential for the RDU across a broad range of industry participants. I am delighted to take on this opportunity.”
Antony Jenkins, former CEO of Barclays, has joined UK-based
Currencies Direct as non-executive Chairman. He will focus on advancing its digital offering and expanding its international footprint. CEO, Keith Hatton, comments: “Antony is one of the most innovative and proven executives in financial services. He will be an invaluable member of our team as we continue to strengthen our market leading position in foreign exchange services. Currencies Direct plans to boost its share of the growing £380 billion currency market for retail and small and medium-sized enterprises in the UK, while also expanding its existing market presence in Continental Europe, Australia, South Africa, China, India and the US. Antony’s knowledge, reach and insights into how technologies are changing the industry will play a major role in driving our growth.”
Jenkins held the top job at Barclays for three years; he was sacked in July 2015, only learning of the decision in a phone call from the British bank’s chairman John McFarlane. McFarlane said at the time that the firing was not a strategy issue, but rather due to concerns over speed of change. Jenkins hit back, telling the BBC: “Well, I’m a human being, so I have to say that it was surprising to me, but I completely respect the authority of the board in choosing the CEO…And I’m realistic. I’ve been in corporate life for over 30 years. These things happen. The bank was performing very well.”
