Harrison to Expand Adaptive's Sales Team
Harrison, who spent six years working for Saxo Capital Markets, joins the company to expand its existing sales team. Based on her LinkedIn profile, she will work out of the company’s London office, where she is based.
The company’s sales team targets both Sell-Side and Buy-Side clients who want to build real-time trading systems. Specifically, their clients are looking for platforms that will allow them to stand out from the competition.
Most recently, Harrison held the role of Head of UK Client and Partner Support, with a focus on Solution Sales where she helped drive wholesale business growth. Prior to her six-year tenure at Saxo, she spent two years at GFT Global Markets where she was part of the institutional relationship management team.
