The Financial Commission (FinaCom), the independent external dispute
resolution (EDR) body for the forex industry, has appointed Sam Low, the
Founder and Chief Executive Officer of LiquidityFinder, as the latest member of
its Dispute Resolution Committee. The organization said Low is the 34th
industry expert to join the Committe since its founding in 2013.
“The DRC consists of a diverse panel of industry professionals, who
follow a non-bias protocol to process and resolve complaints from our members’
clients,” FinCom said in a
statement.
Low founded LiquidityFinder in February 2018 and has been running the
over-the-counter global marketplace that connects liquidity seekers and
industry providers for over five years now. The platform serves users such as
professional traders, asset managers, retail brokers and banks, among others.
Low is a senior executive that boasts of almost three decades of industry experience from
working for top organizations such as Finalto, Bloomberg LP and First
Derivatives. Before founding LiquidityFinder five years ago, he was the
Business Development Manager for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) at First
Derivatives Technologies for almost four years.
In March 2013, he joined Finalto in a sales role that lasted for only
two months. However, he stayed much longer at Integral Development Corporation
where he spent almost 10 years serving as the Vice President of European Sales.
Watch the recent FMLS22 session on how fintech regulation will pan out in 2023.
Low started out his career at Bloomberg LP working with the terminal
sales team in Februarry 1997 and would spend the seven years and seven months
with the company. Between September 2004 and March 2006, he handled new business
sales for SuperDerivatives Inc, a provider of derivatives market data,
technology and valuation services.
“I am pleased to welcome Sam to our dispute resolution team. Given his
extensive experience in the industry, particularly in institutional FX, and
geographically in the UK, he will be a valuable asset to the Dispute Resolution
Committee in helping us continue our commitment to providing thorough
investigations of trade-related disputes and sound dispute resolutions,” Nikolai Isayev, FinaCom’s Chief Operating Officer, explained.
