The addition of Mr. Ullrich constitutes follows after an earlier tranche of appointments back in October 2017. Back in October, State Street made a series of hires and promotions for Currenex and FX Connect. This included the installment of James Reilly Global Head of Currenex as well as Beverley Doherty as the Global Head of FX Connect.
Just a few months later, FX Connect has continued its bid to secure top personnel in the FX space, on-boarding veteran Mr. Ullrich. The appointment marks a return to State Street after a ten year stop between 2000-2010. In his new role as the Head of Sales in North America for FX Connect, he will be reporting to James Norcott, the group’s Global Head of Buy-Side Sales.
Ms. Doherty commented on the hire: "The skills and knowledge that David brings from his more than 30 years of FX experience across the buyside and the sellside, including his knowledge of our institution, will add tremendous value to our business, particularly as we look to develop and deploy new functionality to meet our clients’ evolving needs.”
He steps into the role with immediate effect, and will immediately begin overseeing FX Connect’s sales in the region. FX Connect reflects one of State Streets most important FX execution venues with a firm North American presence. This includes offices in both Boston and Toronto, along with additional footprints in Europe and the APAC region. He will be based out State Street’s Boston office.
