Linear Investments has appointed Norman Hartmann as chief technology officer and head of its new European office in Hamburg.
The new office is the first to open in Europe and will provide Linear’s growing customer base with local support.
Hartmann commented: “I am relishing the opportunity to further build upon the technology infrastructure that exists at Linear. My initial task will be to successfully oversee a range of new middle- and back-office infrastructure enhancements that will provide agency and prime brokerage clients with a first-class technology experience across our services.”
He added: “As head of Linear’s German branch, I’m personally looking forward to working with the larger team and helping Linear extend its local presence into continental Europe.”
Paul Kelly, CEO of Linear Investments, commented: “Hartmann brings a wealth of technical experience in brokerage services platforms, having built the infrastructure at both Aquila Capital and AQX Securities.”
“I am confident that under Hartmann’s guidance, Linear will continue to enhance its technology infrastructure and provide even greater efficiencies to its clients in all aspects of the services we provide.”
