New York, NY, and London, UK, 15 January 2026 – Pirum today announced that it has strengthened its transatlantic client teams with the arrival of Andrew Miller as Head of Origination, NAM, and Charlie Wallis as Director of Origination, EMEA.

The appointments reflect a pivotal moment for both the firm and the industry.

Miller’s previous roles include Senior Director at OSTTRA and IHS Markit, as well as Sales roles at Bloomberg LP.

Wallis joins the London Business Development team, where his focus will be to help Pirum’s existing and new EMEA clients tackle successfully fast-evolving regulatory challenges and to improve clients’ operations through the adoption of Pirum’s automation and connectivity platform. Wallis joins Pirum from LSEG Markets, UK Bank Sales, where he covered Clearing & Post Trade Solutions. Wallis has also held  roles at State Street in London, covering Agency and Prime Sales & Relationship Management, and J.P. Morgan in Hong Kong, where he worked across Asia (excluding Japan) Buyside Coverage within Securities Finance & Collateral Management.

Andrew Miller said: “Pirum's Complete, Connected Lifecycle platform represents genuine pre-trade to post-trade automation and measurable operational advantages. The way Pirum works with market participants to understand their challenges and deliver tailored solutions at scale resonates strongly with my experience and approach.  I’m eager to work with the leadership team and my  global colleagues as we expand the adoption of Pirum’s proven capabilities across North America.”

Carmine Salute, Head of Commercial Development, Americas, said: “Andrew joins us at a pivotal moment for Pirum. We are significantly resourcing our Americas operations to drive major expansion in 2026, and Andrew is a keystone hire for this strategic growth initiative. His deep market expertise, trusted client relationships, and proven track record in building revenue will be instrumental as we deepen relationships with existing clients and forge new partnerships across the region.”
