He has been a vital part of the development of NGM’s successful growth throughout the last 16 years and was also responsible for the sales of IT and market data.
In the regulatory field, Mr. Sjöberg has led the company’s adaptations within IT to regulatory frameworks such as MiFID, MiFID II and MAR.
Mr. Sjöberg will work closely with Valour CEO, Tommy Fransson, and the management team of DeFi Technologies, Valour’s parent company, to lead Valour’s next phase of growth as it continues to expand its product offerings internationally.
