Software company’s new appointment to drive sales in EMEA.


Corporate software specialist XSP has appointed a new senior sales executive and account relationship manager to support its operations in the EMEA region.

Ben Hopcroft joins the London office of the company, which sells its corporate actions automation software to the financial services industry.

He will be responsible for supporting the EMEA sales programme for the XSP v5 Corporate Actions system and will report to Chris Madigan, senior sales executive and account relationship manager.

Madigan said Hopcroft is a respected professional in the corporate actions data and software market, particularly in Europe and Asia. “As we continue to gain momentum globally, Ben will play a pivotal role in helping us to maximise our growth and expansion.”

Hopcroft joins from Fiserv, where he was responsible for driving sales of the company’s products in Europe and the Asia-Pacific region.

Before that, he worked at Exchange Data International, whose data interface is supported by XSP, for more than a decade in sales and business development roles.

Hopcroft said he is excited to be joining the organisation as its clients are the “who’s who” of financial industry firms.
