California-based data management vendor Kx Systems has appointed Gavan Corr as business development manager and Joanne O'Kane as business development executive at its New York office.
Corr will manage customer relationships and serve as account team leader. He previously worked in investment banking and has expertise in foreign exchange, fixed income, derivatives and equities.
In her new role, O'Kane will provide technical and pre-sales support. She has previously held consultancy roles in the financial services and IT industries.
Both will report to Michael O'Neill, director of Kx sales at First Derivatives, the vendor's strategic partner for financial solutions.
Kx Systems opened its mid-town Manhattan office a year ago to support its East Coast customer base.
