Based in London, and reporting to VP EMEA Sales and Client Operations Massimo Broggi, Hulse will play a key role in supporting the GoldenSource EMEA portfolio and expanding the firm's customer base throughout the region.

Hulse said: "I am very excited about my new role. Market participants, whether they are banks, brokers or asset managers, are all struggling to cope with the exponential growth in information required to run their business. Added to this is the requirement to reduce operational costs while meeting increasingly stringent regulatory requirements - all of which is ramping up the need for EDM systems. As the leading provider of EDM solutions, what differentiates GoldenSource is its continuous track record of innovation and leadership. I'm delighted to join such a dynamic and forward-thinking company."

He brings to GoldenSource almost 20 years of information management and technical expertise in the financial technology sector. He has held several senior sales positions including at NYSE Technologies, where he led the Buy-Side sales effort, and Thomson Financial, where he managed several of the firm's tier 1 accounts across EMEA.

Broggi commented: "Steve's experience and understanding of client requirements, combined with his extensive relationships, will prove highly valuable as we look to expand our data management offerings and EMEA footprint still further. At a time when financial institutions are under constant pressure to achieve regulatory compliance, improve data quality and reduce operational costs, we're seeing an ever-increasing demand for our proven solutions and managed services. This is not surprising given our continuous track record of innovation and leadership across the globe. I am sure that Steve will prove a valuable asset as we continue to grow the GoldenSource business."
