MDX Ordains Bishop for BizDev

Data technology provider MDX Technology recently hired Darren Bishop as a business development specialist in London, responsible for the vendor’s Project Iowa ecosystem that connects content creators and consumers, and for driving business development and creating new product offerings.

Bishop was previously CEO of LiquidityChain, a joint venture between Formulate Digital and interdealer broker TP Icap, where—prior to the merger of Tullett Prebon and Icap—he spent four years at Tullett as director of Tullett Prebon Learning and head of customer relations for EMEA, and before that spent six years at Icap as founding partner of its ReMatch emerging markets credit default swap execution platform. He also served as partner at The Beast Apps for its corporate CDS execution business, and spent 18 years in a prior stint at Tullett Prebon as head of EMEA and Asia information sales, and at its predecessors Tullett and Tokyo and Tullett Liberty as a business manager in its interest rates division, and providing strategic support and development to its brokerage business.

At MDX, he reports to CEO Paul Watmough, who says Bishop’s appointment will enable the vendor to exploit new opportunities. “Changing market conditions coupled with the increasing desire amongst our users for innovative collaboration, improved workflow and distribution solutions, have opened up many new opportunities for the business. These requests, together with the growing interest generated by our important relationship with Symphony, means we are experiencing unprecedented demand from both existing customers and new prospects alike,” Watmough says.
