Commenting on the appointment, CEO of StatPro Group plc Justin Wheatley said: "With the launch of StatPro Seven this year and that of Revolution in 2011, we wanted to bolster our European sales force. StatPro is considerably expanding its client base to cover asset management entities of all sizes, with StatPro Seven focussing on performance specialists in the middle office and Revolution on front office professionals. StatPro Revolution will be accessible for a wide audience as it is priced from $100 per portfolio per month, providing outstanding monetary value for small, medium and large asset managers alike. Frisina has been appointed to head the sales initiative and will manage our business development team across Europe. We are delighted to have him on board."

Prior to joining StatPro, Frisina worked for four and a half years at RiskMetrics. He also spent a year and a half at Citigroup Asset Management and was at BNP Paribas for three years.

"I am joining StatPro at a particularly exciting time as it is simultaneously expanding its product offering and client base. StatPro has a long track record of offering state-of-the-art portfolio analysis products and risk management software solutions to the asset management industry. I am looking forward to promoting StatPro Seven and Revolution and expanding StatPro's client base in Europe," said Frisina.
