QuantHouse has confirmed the appointment of Rob Kirby as head of sales and business development for the EMEA region.
In the role, he will support client base growth and the expansion of the firm’s technology partner network across the region.
Kirby has more than 15 years of industry experience and joins QuantHouse from LSEG, where he was director of trading and enterprise global strategic partnerships. He previously spent two years with QuantHouse as a business development manager.
