Bravura Solutions, the Australian wealth management technology firm, has bolstered its EMEA operations with the appointment of Thierry Logier as executive director, Luxembourg.

In his new role, in which he reports to Tony Klim, CEO for the EMEA region, Mr Logier is tasked with expanding Bravura’s footprint in the European market as the firm positions itself for growth.

“As we emerge from this period of global financial instability, we believe there is likely to be further consolidation within the financial services industry and expect a continued cost reduction focus within the European fund and wealth management sectors. Our products and services are specifically aimed at achieving this,” said Mr Klim.

Prior to joining Bravura, Mr Logier spent the last four years as director, head of sales and marketing at Royal Bank of Scotland in Luxembourg. Before this he was head of product management – investment funds at Euroclear.

In other recent appointments, last month Bravura appointed Kevin Ward as product manager for life and pensions, reporting to Tricia Riddell, head of product for EMEA.

Prior to joining Bravura Mr Ward helped to create an IFA consultation business as a director at Optima Marketing, and he has also held the post of associate director at Barclays Wealth in London.
