Web Financial Moves Evans in US Push

In this role, Evans will be responsible for supporting the vendor’s push into North America, working alongside and reporting to Jeremy Diamond, president of North America at Web Financial.

David Tibbetts, former managing director of Iress and head of the London Stock Exchange’s Proquote data terminal business, who joined the vendor in August, will take over Evans’ role, and will be responsible for consolidating Web Financial’s expansion in the UK. Before Iress, Tibbetts spent a decade at the LSE as managing director, prior to which he was general manager of Singularity, and held sales roles at Mercator, Braid, an earlier stint at the LSE, and Dow Jones Telerate.

Evans joined Web Financial in 2009 and was involved with the acquisition of London-based company data and news provider Digital Look in 2011. Prior to joining Web Financial, Evans was an international business development executive at security software vendor Sentrybay, and held the role of international business development director at trading hardware and KVM (keyboard, video and mouse) technology providers Amulet Hotkey and Wey Technology.

“Having Chris join the North American team is a natural evolution of our business, given so many existing clients in the UK are global, digital transformation is global, and we intend to bring the solutions we provide to them across the Atlantic, as well as continue to add new clients to our rapidly growing roster,” Diamond says in a statement.
