Datawatch Corporation : Datawatch Appoints Peter Simpson Vice President of Visualization Strategy
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Industry veteran tasked with accelerating growth of company's visual data
analytics platform and fortifying its dominant presence in capital markets
BEDFORD, Mass., March 16, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Datawatch
Corporation (NASDAQ-CM: DWCH), a leading global provider of self-service data
preparation and visual analytics solutions, today announced that Peter Simpson
has been appointed vice president of visualization strategy. In this role,
Simpson will be responsible for bolstering Datawatch's visual data discovery
business and expanding the company's leadership position in capital markets.
Simpson brings to the company more than two decades of experience in capital
markets, driving technology development and implementing analytical strategies
for firms across the globe. He returns to Datawatch after holding compliance
technology positions at Digital Reasoning and Deloitte UK. Simpson previously
served in a technology and strategy capacity at Datawatch where he applied his
expertise in trading and risk analytics. Before that time, Simpson was chief
technology officer for Panopticon Software AB, which was acquired by Datawatch
in 2013.
"The Datawatch Panopticon solution very early on proved its value to both buy
and sell side firms, enabling them to identify, investigate and act on trading
and risk anomalies," said Simpson. "Today, the capital markets field represents
the vast majority of our customers for visual data analytics - both on a direct
basis and embedded in third-party financial software solutions. I look forward
to helping customers optimize their use of our technology to extract maximum
insight from their data assets, not only through visualization but also through
self-service data preparation."
Before joining Datawatch predecessor Panopticon, Simpson spent eight years at
HSBC Securities within Technology, Equities & Global Research. He has also held
positions with companies providing new analytics solutions to trading firms. He
holds an MSc in Info Systems Engineering from South Bank University and a BSc in
Physics with Space Science & Technology from Leicester University.
"Peter's in-depth knowledge of our visualization software, as well as his
inherent understanding of trading firms' business requirements, uniquely qualify
him to lead the global expansion of our visual analytics platform in capital
markets," said Michael A. Morrison, president and CEO of Datawatch. "In
particular, his most recent experience focusing on the growing regulatory impact
on trading firms gives him an inside perspective on what capabilities are
crucial to the success of our customers."
