Head of Sales EMEA - Market Data / SaaS Fintech
Excelsior has been engaged to conduct a search for this innovative market data solutions fintech, a relatively small (c300 staff) yet established global data & technology provider to the financial markets, with a great client base of tier 1 banks, asset managers and hedge funds etc in Europe and North America. Following additional investment and the appointment of new C level leadership to take the company 'to the next level', they are seeking to appoint someone to lead their pan-European sales team to take advantage of the untapped market potential for their solutions.
Reporting direct to the Chief Revenue Officer the EMEA sales leader will have line management responsibility for a sales team tasked to retain and grow a book of c20mn, and of course new logo acquisition.
