He will focus initially on growing the firm’s client base in Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia and Singapore.
Trade surveillance and risk management software platform provider Eventus Systems hopes to ramp up its regional presence, which was established in Singapore in 2018, with the appointment of Vincent Turcotte as sales director for Asia Pacific. the company announced on Thursday.
Eventus provides multi-asset class trade surveillance and market risk solutions on its Validus platform. The company has a growing client base of more than 60 firms.
«As financial firms in Asia grow their market share within the global industry, they increasingly want to take more control over their destiny and become less reliant on their prime broker or clearing broker. Eventus can play an important role in helping them determine their own future, define their own risk management policies and take direct responsibility for client management through robust trade surveillance capabilities,» Turcotte said.
Extensive Experience
The senior executive brings over three decades of experience at exchanges, broker-dealers and futures commission merchants. He joins from exchange operator Intercontinental Exchange, where he was Asia Pacific sales director since 2016.
Previously, Turcotte was managing director, Asia Pacific and head of futures and options for Nomura International, beginning in 2011. From 1995 to 2011, he held senior production and sales management positions at Newedge Group as well as UBS and J.P. Morgan Chase in London, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore, and worked at various brokerage firms.
Based in Hong Kong, Turcotte reports to Scott Schroeder, Eventus global head of sales, the company said in the statement.
