By Edlyn Cardoza

LedgerEdge, the next-generation ecosystem for corporate bond trading, recently announced that it has appointed the senior fixed income leader Dom Holland to the role of Business Development for the US. In this role, Dom will report to Michelle Neal, who was appointed US CEO in July 2021.

This appointment will support the US expansion of the firm, which is rolling out a global corporate bond trading platform built on distributed ledger technology. LedgerEdge is launching a UK multi-lateral trading facility followed by a launch of a US alternative trading system in Q1 2022.

LedgerEdge was founded in 2020 to address historic market structure issues by creating a new ecosystem in which participants maintain control of their data, see the market more clearly, and unlock liquidity in the $41 trillion global corporate bond market.

Dom brings over 15 years of senior leadership to his new role. Dom was previously Head of Fixed Income Electronic Markets at BNY Mellon, and prior to that held senior roles at Deutsche Bank and RBC Capital Markets. He is currently an adviser to River Avenue, Bond 180 and Strategic Ratings.

David Nicol, CEO and Co-Founder of LedgerEdge, said: “Dom’s extensive network and reputation as an innovator in bond trading will prove invaluable to the firm as we build our US business.”

“Dom’s deep credibility in credit markets, coupled with a focus on client relationships are crucial to the next chapters of growth in the US,” said Michelle Neal, CEO, US LedgerEdge.

LedgerEdge was founded by an expert team of financial market and technology professionals to solve the fundamental challenges of discovering liquidity and executing trades without harmful data leakage in the corporate bond market. With the foundation of a distributed technology architecture, it will deliver a fundamentally better ecosystem and experience for finding data, sharing data, and executing trades.
