His focus will be on enhancing FNZ’s global markets business, which includes multi-asset execution and post-trade technology, crucial for meeting the evolving needs of clients worldwide.
FNZ’s Group President, Roman Regelman, emphasized the significance of these appointments, stating, “These appointments reflect our focus on building world-class leadership and delivering transformational value to our clients.” He highlighted Beach’s extensive connections in North America and Hiom’s expertise in market technologies as key drivers for FNZ’s growth strategy.
Beach expressed enthusiasm about joining FNZ at such a pivotal moment, stating, “North America represents a tremendous growth opportunity. Together, we can deliver even greater value and open up wealth for more people across the U.S. and Canada.”
Hiom echoed this sentiment, noting, “FNZ Markets is uniquely positioned to transform the market-side infrastructure that underpins wealth management globally. I’m excited to build on the strong foundations already in place.”
These strategic appointments come as FNZ aims to reinforce its mission to revolutionize the global wealth management industry through cutting-edge technology and exceptional client service. As FNZ continues to expand its leadership team, the impact of these changes will be closely monitored by industry experts and clients alike.
