John O’ Hara (pictured right) is to step down from his role as CEO of Taskize after nearly 10 years with the financial services company. O’ Hara will be replaced by Phillip Slavin (pictured left) who is currently COO.
O’Hara, who co-founded the company in 2012, will remain on the Taskize board as a strategic advisor.
Taskize, which is fully owned by Euroclear, is a secure back-office platform designed for solving problems between counterparties.
Taskize’s secure Bubble solution allows clients to raise, route, track and resolve operational issues.
Taskize has a global market reach of more than 350 clients in 53 countries in which it deploys secure workflow services across the industry for Euroclear and other leading financial companies.
Commenting on his departure via LinkedIn, O’Hara says: “Phil [Slavin] is already the face of Taskize for many of our clients, and the customer-first, robust execution Taskize is known for will continue seamlessly.”
He adds: “It has been a great honour and pleasure to lead Taskize to where we are today, to build a diverse and talented team that is committed to our customers’ success.”
Slavin says: "I would like to thank John for bringing Taskize to where we are today, and for the passion and energy he has given to the company. I am excited to take this new role and continue the momentum we have seen over the past few years. I look forward to taking the business to the next level as we continue to drive efficiencies and extend our customer proposition to further grow our business."
