SuperDerivatives®, the benchmark for derivatives pricing and the leading provider of multi-asset front-office systems, risk management, revaluation and online options trading solutions, today announced it has appointed Russel Levi to be its senior vice president of Global Sales and Support.
Levi joins SuperDerivatives after serving more than 19 years with Bloomberg LP. Starting as a sales representative, Levi quickly rose through the ranks to become Bloomberg's Head of EMEA Sales which he grew to a workforce of 500 people with annual revenues of more than $1.5 billion. In his most recent role at Bloomberg, Levi was Head of Electronic Trading, Front Office Systems and Messaging, ending his Bloomberg career as one of the company's most senior executives.
Commenting on the appointment, David Gershon, president and CEO of SuperDerivatives said, "I am truly excited to welcome Russel to SuperDerivatives and am certain he will be instrumental in accelerating our expansion to thousands of clients across all continents. The appointment of a world class leader with a spectacular track record is exactly what SuperDerivatives requires at this time of immense growth in products, clients and revenue. Russel will further develop our sales and support management, processes, methodologies and training with the goal of driving the company to huge sales growth. With his extensive experience and vast industry knowledge we are certain that he will do a fantastic job."
Russel Levi added, "Having had the privilege to be part of Bloomberg's development into a global household name, I am seeing a similar and even greater potential for SuperDerivatives, fully backed by its formidable achievements, rich technology, brand recognition and strong executive management. It is exciting to be joining a successful and talented sales force. Together, I am sure we are going to provide excellent service to current and new clients."
"SuperDerivatives is in a superior position to capitalize on some of the most dominant market trends such as the immense growth in derivative trading volume and the demand for more accuracy and transparency by regulators and investors. SuperDerivatives' award winning products and advanced technology in areas such as portfolio revaluation, risk management and front-office productivity should enable my team and myself to further expand our success in markets around the world," Levi concluded.
