Netik opens its Hong Kong office led by Brian Rooney, who has been appointed senior vice president in Asia-Pacific.
Rooney will assume responsibility for the Hong Kong office and all commercial operations in the Asia-Pacific region. The role will also see him building the staff in this region across sales, service and support.
“Rooney brings a wealth of both regional and professional experience that is exactly the right skill set to drive our expansion into the Asia Pacific region. His focus will be to grow this key region for Netik as it expands across its entire product range of delta one data, data warehousing and management and data distribution. Combined with the focus that Netik is putting into this region it marks a significant step forward in the company’s growth plans”, says Rob Flatley, CEO and president of Netik.
Rooney comes to Netik from GoldenSource where he was regional sales director for the Asia-Pacific region based in Hong Kong.
“Asian markets are evolving rapidly and Hong Kong and Asia are seen as the new growth area for financial services. With Netik’s expanding client base using products and services across our range of index and ETF data, client reporting and Prime Brokerage solutions, it is only right that Netik moves into this thriving marketplace,” said Flatley.
China's Ministry of Commerce has recently released several highly anticipated draft regulatory frameworks detailing obligations for foreign direct investment for inbound M&A activity as well as issues concerning cross-border Renminbi transactions, according to global law firm Mayer Brown.
China's leadership is widely regarded to be bringing the country a step closer to internationalising its currency, as it brings institutional investors more choices other than US assets, according to Equity Research Desk.
