Capital markets platform provider Calypso Technology has opened an office in Dubai. This expansion is the result of a growing client base in the Middle East region.
The office is located in the Dubai International Financial Centre, and will serve as a sales and marketing base as well as a professional services hub for the region. The territory had previously been managed from Calypso’s Paris office, but with the recent on-boarding and growth of new clients including Riyad Bank and Emirates NBD, a local presence was required.
Charles Marston, Calypso’s CEO and chairman, said: “In our fifteen years of operation, we have always deemed it invaluable to be close to our clients, so establishing a Middle Eastern presence is a natural progression. We have been in the region since 2007 and through research and practical experience, we have a firm understanding of market trends and requirements, and have become more integrated with its financial community.â€
The Dubai office is Calypso’s 20th office globally, and follows three prior office openings this year alone.
