I am pleased to welcome Lak and Vahid to the global OMS team and the FlexTrade office in London,” said Rajiv Kedia, FlexTrade’s Principal and Associate Founder. “Considering the changes and opportunities that have been occurring in the sell-side OMS market, it became paramount for us to expand our presence in EMEA with a more regional focus on local firms in addition to global installations. With the appointments of Loi and Shirani, FlexTrade is well positioned to improve our business development, client services and support for the OMS space across EMEA.
