A RegTech Expert
He is an expert in the post-trade banking and RegTech industries and has over two decades of experience.
Most recently, he had a short stint as the director of business solutions development at the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), where he assisted with certain areas of the company’s EMEA strategy and helped build commercial business models for future business lines. Earlier, he worked for this company for years.
He spent more than half-a-decade at CME/NEX Regulatory Reporting by Abide Financial and Markit. There he worked in the commercial and strategy development, and strategically designed and built new regulatory markets for NEX Group.
Additionally, his portfolio includes years at Markit, SwapsWire, and Citi.
"Mark’s extensive and solid RegTech expertise will add significantly to our Group," MAP FinTech’ Group CEO, Panayiotis Omirou added. "We believe that, supported by our innovative and tested compliance and regulatory solutions, Mark will succeed in leading our efforts to the next level."
Earlier this month, MAP FinTech extended its partnership with UnaVista for its EMIR trade repository (TR) services, following the exit of CME and Abide from the market.
