Taskize, the leading investment ops collaboration platform and Euroclear-owned fintech, has announced the appointment of Helen Adair as global head of business development and Alfred Escobedo as head of business development for the LATAM region, bolstering its global leadership team.
Adair brings nearly two decades of experience in financial leadership positions at major investment banks. Most recently, she held the role of global head of client onboarding at Morgan Stanley, having previously spent over 12 years at JP Morgan. Based in London, Helen will be responsible for spearheading the global growth strategy of Taskize.
Escobedo joins from Euroclear-backed, Brussels-based sustainability software provider Greenomy, where he served as a senior advisor for the LATAM region. He began his career with Citi and brings over 20 years of experience in building teams and networks to drive revenue growth.
The appointments have been made during a sustained period of global expansion for Taskize, which now serves over 600 financial institutions across 88 countries in their efforts to improve client experience, operational capacity and risk mitigation.
Commenting on her appointment, Helen Adair, head of business development said: “With significant regulatory changes on the horizon, including the EU and UK move to T+1, Taskize is playing a vital role in improving the operational efficiency of firms within the financial services industry. I’m delighted to be joining the Taskize team, where I can leverage my experience to help further this mission.”
Alfred Escobedo, head of business development for LATAM adds: “Taskize offers an invaluable solution in resolving post-trade issues, a much-needed service for the financial industry in the LATAM region. I look forward to contributing my knowledge of the region to help expand Taskize’s global footprint.”
James Pike, interim CEO of Taskize concludes: “We are thrilled to welcome both Helen and Alfred to the Taskize team. As the industry grapples with increasing regulatory complexity across multiple divergent jurisdictions, the demand for our solutions is increasing. The combined wealth of experience that Helen and Alfred bring will make them invaluable assets in helping drive this growth.”
This development is the latest step in Taskize’s growth journey, coming shortly after bolstering both the UK and North American business development teams with the appointments of Miles Trueman and Rohan Murphy respectively.
