Alex Findlay, Director of Sales at TORA, commented: “I’ve seen in my career just how important technology can be in enabling both buy and sell side institutions to capitalize on changing market dynamics. I’m pleased to be joining TORA at an inflection point in the market where there’s a greater awareness of the benefits of the TORA all-in-one model.”
