AccessFintech, a provider of data and network collaboration, has appointed Christopher Daur as global head of buy-side sales and relationships.
Based in New York, Daur will lead the global buy-side strategy, product and sales with a focus on driving engagement and client success.
He joins AccessFintech after an 18-year-long tenure with Goldman Sachs, where he was most recently managing director and head of client coverage group for the Americas.
In his previous role, he focused on post-trade challenges, strategy and solutions for the firm’s clients.
Earlier in his career, Daur spent nearly 15 years running numerous functions and asset classes across global markets operations. Before Goldman, he spent five years working at J.P. Morgan in multiple operations roles, and also worked in the Africa External Affairs Office of the World Bank.
The hire follows the growth of the firm’s Synergy Network, which has expanded to more than 100 buy-side institutions. Synergy generates real-time insights through its collaborative data network, enabling fail prevention and optimised inventory usages, the firm says.
Commenting on the appointment, AccessFintech CEO Roy Saadon says: “The opportunity to serve the buy-side's strategic initiatives, especially in these turbulent times, is an area of focus for AccessFintech.
“The appointment of Chris will strengthen our buy-side engagement, capitalising on his exceptional expertise in post-trade and operations at major financial institutions. This move underscores our efforts to foster participation and collaboration among all network participants.”
Daur adds: “AccessFintech has made strides in a short period of time, with success in developing a platform engineered to address the challenges faced by financial institutions in data collaboration and insights.
“To me, our clients need to be at the centre of everything we do and look forward to working across the buy-side to bring long term solutions to help them achieve their goals.”
