Klausen kicked off his career at Danske Bank back in 1986, then he moved to JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank.

In his capacity as head of global sales, he would promote PrimeXM’s flagship platform, XCore, which offers low latency order routing and pricing engine, giving the institutions the opportunity to ‎connect to a wide range of liquidity providers. Furthermore, ‎XCore is installed in PrimeXM’s infrastructure in Equinix ‎data centers, allowing for the efficient management of the entire brokerage business in a centralized environment.‎

In addition to their primary product XCore, PrimeXM offers hosting services in the most popular data centers used by the FX industry, such as Equinix LD4, NY4, and TY3, which enables clients to house their trading systems and algos in co-location to their execution engine and liquidity providers.
