TP ICAP Group, an interdealer broker and market infrastructure provider, has appointed two senior roles in its data and analytics division in a bid to diversify its offering and capture more buy side users in Asia.
Rhys Spencer, who is based in Singapore, has been promoted to the newly-created position of head of sales, Asia, after more than a decade as part of TP ICAP’s data and analytics division.
Spencer will focus on implementing a talent acquisition strategy to establish a team focused on growing revenue from client segments including asset managers and hedge funds.
Elsewhere, Jeff Missimer, who is based in New York, joins TP ICAP in the additional new role of head of sales Americas.
He brings more than 25 years of experience, including his most recent position being head of sales Americas at Bloomberg Polarlake.
Missimer’s focus will be on data and analytics ambitions to grow its offering in the buy-side and energy and commodities space.
TP ICAP Group said both positions have been created to complete the division's global sales leadership team and support its wider strategy to diversify and grow its revenue streams and client base.
As part of the data and analytics division, Missimer and Spencer will join Lisa Ward, head of sales for Europe, the Middle East and Africa and Jonathan Cooper, global head of sales.
The team’s immediate focus, TP ICAP explained, is to assist clients with their risk management and total cost of ownership using the data and analytics’ new suite of solutions including its bond evaluated price service and SURFIX market data API.
Cooper said: “Providing clients with insight from our unique data-led solutions is essential in helping them to make better-informed investment decisions and to meet their regulatory requirements.
“Alongside Lisa, appointing Jeff and Rhys strengthens our global sales coverage, enabling data and analytics to better anticipate and meet more of our clients’ needs over time.”
