GoldenSource™ Corporation, a global software provider of Enterprise Data Management (EDM) solutions for financial and securities institutions worldwide, today announced the appointment of Peter Leichsenring as Head of Sales for Central and Southern Europe, as part of the scaling of GoldenSource’s European operations to meet the increased business demands from the financial markets in the region.
Reporting into EMEA headquarters in London, Peter will build on a strong network of existing customers and local contacts to grow business throughout the region, focusing on Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Portugal, Spain and Italy. With the anticipated growth in market opportunities across the region, GoldenSource expects to continue expanding its resources in the territory.
"The value of having a trusted source of critical financial data at the heart of your operational and financial control systems is self-evident," said Peter Leichsenring, Head of Sales, Central and Southern Europe, GoldenSource. "With the approaching deadlines of Basel II and MiFID, there is a clear opportunity to drive our EDM solutions in Central and Southern Europe. In this new position, I aim to help customers in these regions maximise the value they get from using our EDM solutions so that they can enjoy a significant competitive advantage."
Initially recruited to the company in December 2004 to build and launch a channel sales program, Peter established the "Powered by GoldenSource" alliance partnership program. This initiative opened up the use of GoldenSource's world class data platform to service providers, data vendors and other non financial institutions. Prior to GoldenSource, Peter ran channel and alliance programs at TIBCO Software and established a financial services sales vertical globally, contributing to a doubling of licence revenue.
"Peter's high level of financial services expertise and his strong network of Central and Southern European contacts will further enable GoldenSource to deliver the EDM message and respond to local markets," said Mark Zill, EVP, Global Software Operations at GoldenSource.
