The newly created, hybrid position is responsible for all third-party partnerships as well as Calypso's global marketing efforts. The role reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer and is part of the firm's Operating Committee.

Since June 2014, Mr. Carrel has served as Calypso's General Manager for Asia Pacific, following a career with Thomson Reuters in a variety of senior management roles around the world. Earlier in his career he was a derivatives trader and risk manager. He is also a published author and regular speaker at risk management conferences.

"Philippe is a spectacular fit for this position," said Pascal Xatart, CEO at Calypso. "His successful track record as a relationship manager will strengthen our existing strategic partnerships and help us forge new alliances in the future. His domain expertise and extensive experience working with Calypso customers will ensure our marketing team is focusing on the issues that are most relevant to our clients and prospects."

"Partnerships are a core component of Calypso's go-to-market strategy," Carrel says. "We look forward to building alliances that allow us to remain on the cutting edge of the industry transformation. With this new organization, Calypso will continue to acquire best practice from our direct and partner sales channels and deliver value to our customers by way of thought leadership and content marketing."
