SecFinex, the independent online marketplace for securities finance, has appointed Rozalyn Orme as relationship manager.

The company recently announced the signing of its 50th client and Orme will be supporting the growing number of participants on SecFinex's electronic trading platform for securities lending. She joins the company from Charles River Development where she held the position of Regional Sales Manager (UK and Italy).

Until December 2002, Orme worked as a fixed income reinvestment trader for the Bank of New York, investing in EUR and GBP markets in a range of investment instruments. She has an MSc in International Banking and Finance from Greenwich University.

"I am delighted to be joining SecFinex and look forward to helping the company to continue to grow rapidly while maintaining a high standard of service to all our clients," says Orme.

"With 50 clients now on board and trading volumes averaging over $10 billion a month, SecFinex is going from strength to strength," says SecFinex CEO Chris Fay. "Rozalyn's skills and experience will be a valuable addition to SecFinex and her appointment reaffirms our commitment to our clients."
