Exactpro Systems, a consulting firm specialised in testing and development services for the securities trading sector, announces the appointment of Ms. Alyona Lamash as Head of its Risk Management Practice.

Kirill Zagorouiko, Managing Director of Exactpro, comments: "We are excited that Alyona has joined us.

"Following the financial crisis, the quality and efficiency of risk management systems is even more crucial to the survival of financial services companies. The financial services industry and its regulators require rapid improvements in such areas as capital and liquidity management, counterparty risk management and stress testing.

As a company specialised in advanced execution systems, Exactpro will carry out intensive research in these areas", adds Alyona Lamash.
