TradingScreen has opened a new office in Singapore to better serve its local and regional buy-side customers. In addition, Nathan Walker has been appointed Head of South East Asia and Pacific to lead the new office and focus on building out business in the region.

He will be based in the new Singapore office and work with the company's Head of North Asia, Bernard Ho, who is based in Hong Kong and oversees the Japan business.

Previously, Walker spent ten years with Bloomberg, most recently based in Singapore.

In the announcement, Walker commented, "TradingScreen is the leading independent technology provider in the Asia-Pacific region today that allows traders to access global markets and multiple executing brokers, as well as trade multiple asset classes under one platform. With my experience in the use of EMS technology within the Asia-Pacific Buy-Side community, I plan to build on TradingScreen's success and reputation as the leader in their field."

Michael Chin, President of TradingScreen, added, "The opening of our Singapore office is a continuation of our longstanding success in - and commitment to - the Asia-Pacific region. We have identified a number of opportunities in the region, including those in emerging markets, which we will better capitalize upon by the addition and commitment of local resources. Not only will our existing client base in Singapore benefit from the local coverage, but by being on the ground in Singapore we will also augment our ability to more efficiently and resourcefully grow our Asia-Pacific franchise."
