Witad Awards 2018 Write-Ups: Vendor Professional of the Year—Veronica Augustsson, Cinnober Financial Technology

With Augustsson at the helm, a position she assumed in September 2012, Cinnober delivered on four fronts during the course of 2017: there were a number of go-lives at stock exchanges and clearinghouses around the world; the firm undertook a share issue to fund a new subsidiary, Minium, which provides real-time, post-trade technology and services to investment banks, launched in October; and in May, Cinnober acquired London-based market surveillance provider Ancoa Software—not bad for 12 months.
