Kimberly Jewell has joined as managing director of global accounts and will support Broadridge's tier-one global clients headquartered in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA). She joins Broadridge from SunGard, with 20 years' experience in North American and Pan-European strategic planning, profit and loss management, marketing and business development in the capital markets industry.

He brings 20 years of financial markets experience, managing sales and marketing teams and developing financial technology businesses in foreign exchange, rates, securities and derivatives across pre- and post-trade functions. Thrower joins Broadridge from Wall Street Systems, a provider of treasury, foreign exchange trade-processing and cross asset back-office services, where he was global head of sales and account management. Previously, Thrower was global head of sales and marketing at Cognotec and head of trading and risk management systems at TSB Hill Samuel Bank.
