Propellant.digital has named Charlie Gibson as head of EMEA sales, based out of the firm’s London office.
Gibson is responsible for sales to buy-side and sell-side firms in the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. Gibson joins from LedgerEdge, where he was head of buy-side sales for EMEA. He also founded BLOKX, a trading interface for the electronic trading of corporate bonds. Prior to this, he was fixed income sales director for EMEA at Liquidnet.
Gibson said: “Over the past two years I have seen Propellant grow rapidly from a start-up to having a client base which includes eight of the world’s top ten fixed income trading banks, two asset managers, two hedge funds and four trading venues.
“With a growing reputation for quality and a recent funding round it is the ideal time to engage with my network to target new business in EMEA.”
Propellant CEO Vincent Grandjean said: “I worked closely with Charlie while he was at LedgerEdge and was impressed with his expertise and extensive relationships in the Fixed Income market, particularly with buy-side firms. Charlie is a great fit for Propellant, and I am delighted to welcome him to our growing team.”
The firm, which captures and analyses global trading activity to drive business decisions, was launched in mid 2021 and now has 29 clients globally.
