Netik, the New York-headquartered financial data management firm, has appointed Luke Neicho as its new head of global business development.

Neicho joins from the BNY Mellon subsidiary Eagle Investment Systems, where he was international sales director and was responsible for business development and driving the growth of the firm’s international client base. Before joining Eagle in 2002 he was pre-sales manager, EMEA at GoldenSource (formerly FTI).

In his new role Neicho will focus on driving Netik’s growth in the firm’s key market areas - delta one trading data, managed reference data services and data warehousing - across Asia, Europe, Middle East, South Africa and North America. He will report to John Mason, who was named as chief operating officer in August.
