Go West young man. Or East. Or South.
Or to the Philippines. That’s what exchange operator Nasdaq OMX is doing – expanding its global reach by opening a new office in the South Pacific. The new locale will provide service and support to its global Corporate Solutions unit, particularly for its Investor Relations business.
The new office, located in Manila, will be overseen by Emanuel Sarte, head of operations, and service the region and the exchange’s clients there. This follows the operator’s recent expansion into India and Istanbul.
