TS Imagine, the global, cross-asset class provider of trading, portfolio, and risk management solutions for financial institutions, announces the appointment of Simarjit (Sim) Johal to Head of Asia Pacific (APAC), reporting to Rob Flatley, Chief Executive Officer.
Sim will reportedly “join TS Imagine’s Executive Leadership Committee and relocate to Hong Kong when he assumes the role in September 2023.” TS Imagine has been “operating in APAC for over two decades, with over 60 employees in Hong Kong, Singapore, Tokyo, and Sydney working across development, data, product, sales, professional services, account management, client support, finance, and human resources.”
Flatley stated:
“We are proud of our longstanding roots in APAC, which continues to be a key growth region for us. Sim is a well-rounded, cross-functional leader with the energy to serve clients and motivate employees, and we believe the region will thrive under his leadership.”
As noted in the update, Sim was previously Co-Head of Professional Services & Account Management.
Sim had “joined TS Imagine 7 years ago and has worked in numerous positions across the company including as a Product Analyst in Client Support, and as both EMEA and Global Head of Professional Services & Account Management.”
He had “joined TS Imagine from Imperial College in London where he majored in Physics, and where he now plays an active alumni role mentoring and recruiting students who are pursuing careers in financial technology.”
Johal said:
“I am excited to unlock the massive growth opportunity within TS Imagine APAC. Throughout my time at the company, I have always had the right combination of freedom and support to make an impact — this rings especially true today and I am deeply grateful for this opportunity,”
Earlier this month, TS Imagine announced “the launch of TS One, the essential solution for investing teams seeking to drive alpha and scale their business as they navigate any asset class and market. ”
As covered, TS Imagine “delivers an SaaS platform for integrated electronic front-office trading, portfolio management, and financial risk management tools to the buy-side and sell-side.”
Formed following the merger of Trading Screen and Imagine Software in 2021, TS Imagine innovates by “drawing on nearly thirty years’ experience serving the world’s most sophisticated financial services firms through changing markets and a shifting regulatory landscape.”
The TS Imagine team is “focused on developing technology that empowers its clients to succeed every day, in every asset class.”
TS Imagine claims it “employs the best technology talent, alongside former senior traders who understand first-hand their client’s pressure points and how to address them.”
This complementary expertise, unique to the industry, “enables TS Imagine to dive deep in areas such as data science, automation, and development.”
As a result, clients can “focus on what they do best: generating and protecting alpha within fast evolving markets.”
By offering a range of purpose-built solutions developed from the ground-up, TS Imagine technology has “become an essential tool for the modern investor, working seamlessly across asset classes and geographies.”
With greater transparency, better efficiency, and infinite scalability, TS Imagine clients are empowered “to circumvent distractions and avoid unnecessary tasks so they can maintain their focus on driving returns.”
