TransFICC, the provider of low-latency connectivity and workflow services for fixed income and derivatives markets, has opened its new office in New York, staffed by Sean Murphy, Bo-Yun Liu and Khagay Nagdimov, who have joined the firm.
Murphy joined as senior sales executive to lead North American new business. He was part of the management team that developed BrokerTec from a concept to the dominant platform in the US Treasury marketplace, leading to its sale to CME Group in 2018. There, his mandate included leading a global sales team of 20 people located in Asia, Europe, and North America. Since 2018, Sean has worked at Dealerweb and on bank consulting engagements.
Liu has joined as pre-sales engineer to lead client architecture solutioning globally. He is an ex-US rates trader with over a decade of experience in fixed income markets, in roles including trading, technology, and product management, and with institutions ranging from O/EMS vendors, interdealer brokers, sell-side banks and fintechs. As a pre-sales engineer, he engages with TransFICC clients in product architecture, tech strategy and market structure to define product fit and roadmap.
Khagay Nagdimov joined as pre-sales engineer, from a software engineering background in the financial industry. He started his career at TD Securities building software for fixed income teams. He then moved to fintech startup dv01, rising to be a technology lead, building out application programming interfaces (APIs); microservices; extract, transform, load (ETL) pipelines; and managing a team of developers for analytics on asset backed securities. He is a CFA Level 3 candidate, with strong technical knowledge and business domain experience.
“With six North American clients and a presence in the New York and Chicago data centres, it is important for TransFICC to have a US office,” said Steve Toland, co-Founder of TransFICC. ”I am delighted to welcome Sean, Bo-Yun and Khagay to our team, who all bring extensive experience and senior industry relationships, which will help TransFICC to engage with new clients in the Americas.”
TransFICC provides technology designed to improve access and automation in fixed income, resolving issues such as market fragmentation and workflow inefficiencies at banks and asset managers globally. It provides connectivity to multiple trading venues while supporting a variety of workflows across asset classes such as rates and corporate bonds, repos, mortgage backed securities and interest rate swaps.
