As to executive moves, recent senior EMEA-based appointments at LiquidityBook include Jonathan Cross, General Manager, EMEA; Nicholas Thompson, Director of Client Service; and Sumit Kumar, Global Head of FIX Connectivity, all based in London.
Sumit, Kumar, Senior FIX Specialist at LiquidityBook, commented: “From the largest of our buy-side clients to our most specialized broker-dealer and outsourced trading clients, LiquidityBook’s clients all share a global mandate. Growing our roster of clients, counterparties and routing destinations in EMEA is a top priority for 2023, to build upon the momentum we generated in 2022.”
LiquidityBook adds brokers and routes to proprietary managed FIX network

The firm has recently released an all-new API framework, its LBX Trade Match product, and a slew of new and enhanced solutions, including LBX Outsourced Trader, LBX Middle Office, and LBX Portal.
LBX Trade Match is seeing strong uptake on both sides of the Street, according to the company which has made investments in the team and front end as well as concerted efforts to establish a beachhead in EMEA through LBX Connect, which now features over 300 routing destinations in EMEA.
