Odyssey is pleased to announce that Candyce Cohen has accepted the role of Senior Sales Executive Americas for Odyssey Asset Management Systems, a leading provider of wealth management and private banking solutions.
Candyce Cohen is joining Odyssey to focus on the development of the company’s business in the US. Over the past eleven years, Candyce has had a successful career in portfolio management software sales and product management. Since 1994 she helped IDS make a breakthrough in the market with many noteworthy sales successes. Previously, Ms. Cohen headed technology for a wealth management firm giving her valuable understanding of the challenges facing her clients.
"Candyce brings a proven track record of servicing customers in the private banking and wealth management technology area. With her experience we strengthen significantly the local Odyssey team in the US" said David De Louya, General Manager Americas.
On joining Odyssey, Ms. Cohen commented "I am thrilled to have the opportunity to represent Odyssey’s solutions in the American market. Odyssey brings many highly sought-after capabilities to the American market, within solutions that provide flexible, scalable multicurrency portfolio management functions based on relational technology and deployed via true component architecture."
"The ability to rebalance a client relationship comprised of multiple accounts or even segments of a portfolio to target models provides a strategic advantage to wealth managers. Additionally, Odyssey solutions are tailored to the user’s needs and help managers cut portfolio dispersion by providing clear over-sight and proactive, easy-to-use alerts for accounts which exceed allowable variance from their targets".
The New York office was opened in 2004. To date, Odyssey employs 12 people in the US, and the office will continue to expand to become a full-service location with Help Desk and support consultants dedicated exclusively to North American clients. Odyssey’s client base includes major North American financial institutions, further evidence of the suitability of Odyssey solutions to the region.
