Placing Platform Limited (PPL) has announced a restructuring of its senior management team to support its digital journey.
Following the successful launch of its Next Gen platform earlier this year, PPL is now focussing on accelerating its new strategy with a strong emphasis on headless (API) operation, Blueprint Two integration, and Data First trading.
As part of this strategy, the organisation has realigned its leadership and announced several key appointments.
Colin O'Malley has been appointed as chief operating officer and will be in charge of overseeing operations, market engagement and adoption, training, service delivery, and customer satisfaction.
Amit Arora has been appointed as chief commercial officer, with responsibilities encompassing finance, legal, sourcing, procurement, risk, and governance.
Tanya Duckworth will take on the role of director of channels & partnerships, spearheading PPL’s partnership strategy and fostering close collaborations with vendors and market firms. She will also have oversight of the early adopter programmes.
Andy Woolley has been named director of product & placement and will be responsible for optimising PPL’s product set to cater to the evolving needs of the market.
Additionally, PPL will soon begin the recruitment process for two critical roles – chief information officer and head of brand & communications.
The CIO will be responsible for overseeing PPL’s technology and data platforms, as well as driving the transformation agenda and collaboration with delivery partners. Meanwhile, the head of brand & communications will focus on public relations, strategic communications, and overseeing marketing activities.
Chief executive Joe Gordon expressed his confidence in the newly appointed team and the future of PPL’s digital journey.
“We decided to reconfigure our senior management team to ensure that we have the right focus to deliver on our digital agenda,” said Gordon. “There is considerable work for us to do, but with the launch and market adoption of Next Gen soon to be behind us, it is time to pivot to accelerating achievement of APIs, CDR integration, and Data First trading.
“Congratulations to the team on their well-deserved appointments, which come on the back of the huge amount of work that they have delivered to get us to this exciting point in our evolution.”
