Frank Kost has joined software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider LiquidityBook.
Kost will head up the sell-side business development, North America division of the SaaS-based provider of buy- and sell-side solutions in the company鈥檚 New York office.
North America has the highest concentration of LiquidityBook clients and Kost will be responsible for bringing in new business in the region, promoting the firm鈥檚 portfolio, order and execution and management system LBX Sell-Side.
Kost鈥檚 most recent position was director of business development at Axos Clearing. Prior to that, Kost developed a keen understanding of the sell-side order management system space as a senior sales executive at fintech firm SS&C. Kost has also driven business development in senior sales roles at Aegis Capital, Bloomberg and Reuters.
LiquidityBook chief revenue officer Sean Sullivan says that despite a focus on global expansion in recent years, the firm recognises untapped potential in North America. 鈥淎dding Frank Kost to the team will help us expand our sell-side client base and identify new ways to cater to both clients and prospects.
鈥淭he pandemic has accelerated demand for multi-tenant, SaaS-based products like ours, while continued cost pressures mean that a transparent, broker-friendly business model for FIX connectivity is crucial.
鈥淜ost will be a huge part of LiquidityBook鈥檚 efforts to deliver these efficiencies to the industry at large.鈥�
Kost was similarly effervescent: 鈥淪o far, all the positive feedback I鈥檝e been hearing from clients points directly to the flexibility and performance of LiquidityBook鈥檚 technology and design. There is a genuine need for the robust functionality and overall value it provides.
鈥淔urthermore, LiquidityBook鈥檚 client service team is highly reputable, with an established track record of working with clients to build features to their specifications. It鈥檚 the kind of product that makes a sales role fun, so I couldn鈥檛 be more excited to join the team.鈥�
