CJC Taps Love, Moreton

IT managed service and product provider CJC has promoted senior technical director Steve Moreton to global head of product management, and has hired Karen Love as business development specialist.

Moreton’s primary focus will be MosaicOA, a real-time infrastructure data processor. 

“As the senior technical director, I got involved in things like business development, account management, and so on… I would get ideas and suggestions from clients internally and from my CTO, and then we would do the full product model lifecycle, research product development, into production and marketing,” says Moreton. “As the products became more successful on the client side and internally at CJC, it became clear that you can’t have a product without a product manager, and I had all the expertise and passion. It was just deemed that I was best to lead the charge because I knew CJC, the client base, and the product so well.” 

Moreton has spent 14 years at CJC in various consultancy and internal roles, following a four-year stint at Thomson Reuters as installs engineer and specialist project manager.

His consultancy roles include market data IT consultant at JP Morgan and UniCredit, market data support specialist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, and RMDS market data consultant at Thomson Reuters. His internal CJC roles include director of operations for Asia and senior technical director of global accounts and product management.

As the firm’s new business development specialist, Love will be responsible for client outreach and finding new areas for CJC software solutions. 

“MosaicOA is a fantastic tool and isn’t limited to traditional financial areas. You can put any dataset through it, and the power it gives the user is fundamentally fantastic,” says Love.

She has spent her career in a range of front-to-back-office positions, most recently as account director at Fixnetix, a technology provider of market data, low-latency trading, connectivity and hosting solutions.

Her previous experience includes roles as director of sales and account management at trading technology and infrastructure provider Ullink, sales director at NYSE Euronext, global account director, sales director of global connectivity, and manager of broker relations at Fidessa, and vice president of emerging markets operations at Citigroup. 

Love and Moreton will report to CJC CEO Paul Gow.
