Ruggero Frisina Ruggero Frisina, European Sales Director, StatPro

Welcome to the spring 2011 edition of StatPro's Quarterly Newsletter, bringing you all the latest news from the StatPro Group.

My face is probably unfamiliar to most of you, so please allow me to introduce myself: I joined StatPro in October 2010 as European Sales Director with the task of strengthening our sales team and implementing new distribution strategies for our product offering. In my previous role I helped a few institutions improve their risk management practices and I hope that my expertise will be of use to StatPro’s clients in Europe.

I join the company at a very exciting time; StatPro Revolution, our cloud-based portfolio analytics platform, is approaching its commercial release. Many clients, prospects and individuals across the world have been trialing Revolution over the past few months. Their feedback has been encouraging and has helped us refine the platform to meet the needs of large, medium and small organizations alike.

We are currently planning launch events in all major European financial centres and we would be delighted to have you participate. We will announce dates soon, so watch this space!

With that, 2011 is shaping up to be very ‘eventful’ for StatPro. We started the year by celebrating 10 years of success for QuantLib – the most widely used free/open source pricing library in the world – in January at the first QuantLib Forum in London. On that occasion, we were joined by over 100 QuantLib participants; a mixed audience of risk managers, quants and developers listening to the speeches of the QuantLib founders, including our own Marco Marchioro and Luigi Ballabio.

I look forward to meeting you over the next few months and to working with you in 2011 and beyond.  

In the meantime, I hope you find this newsletter of interest and if you have any questions on Revolution, on the QuantLib or on any other topic discussed in the newsletter, please do not hesitate to contact your local sales representative or myself.

Kind regards,
Ruggero Frisina
