This hiring follows the recently announced appointments of Joanne Kinsella, Eric Beller and Josh Prinsky at ITRS North America and of Thibaud Langlet in Asia.

Laura's career in the financial technology industry spans 20 years with a track record of delivering impressive results as a senior account manager with major vendors such as IBM and Sun Microsystems. She joins ITRS at a time when many clients are focusing on achieving greater efficiencies with their management and monitoring technology. This additional business focus fits well with ITRS's growth strategy: Laura is a valuable addition to the team and her experience and knowledge of working with numerous global investment banks and other large organisations such as Logica, Ernst and Young, BT Syntegra and KPMG is a good fit for ITRS.

Kevin Covington, managing director ITRS Europe, said: "ITRS is constantly growing, which is why we now need people who are able to help us to manage our development and continue building the company. Laura's experience over the years demonstrates that she is an excellent team builder and has the skills to manage direct hardware, software, services and support sales campaigns with global and multinational customers. I am delighted that Laura has decided to join us; she and our other recent hires are excellent additions to ITRS."
