Algomi, the network company providing information-matching solutions for the optimisation of fixed income liquidity, has announced Rony Grushka joined its board with immediate effect.
Grushka was a co-founder of Markit Group and played a major role in building it into one of the world’s most highly respected financial information companies. Over 13 years, he has been the Global Head of Corporate Strategy, CFO, membership of the Executive Management Committee and Secretary to the Board of Directors. He led and managed the IPO of the company on the NASDAQ.
Algomi helps banks create a virtual balance sheet based on actual bond data – including trade information, enquiries, and holdings – and lets buyside firms see this validated virtual balance sheet at the banks.
Michael Schmidt, Chairman, Algomi said:
Algomi’s ability to give our customers an insight into their data is unrivalled. Nobody knows the data business, and the correct path to follow when dealing with sensitive information in OTC markets, better than Rony. We are honoured to have him join the board of Algomi and look forward to receiving Rony’s guidance as we develop the next stage of our strategy, building on our recent success launching our SaaS version of Synchronicity to the sell-side.

Rony Grushka added:
Algomi’s ecosystem of private information management tools is a unique and very innovative integrated data framework connecting banks, exchanges and investment management firms. By connecting market participants in a way not previously possible, it facilitates realtime insight, on how, when and with who, to execute less liquid instruments, and how to align risk appropriately. Given the rapid evolution of regulation and market structure, Algomi’s solutions for market participants allows it to respond to the challenges the industry is facing, and I look forward to being part of the team.
Currently Algomi has over 200 buyside and 16 banks signed up, and services customers from its offices in London, New York and Hong Kong.
