NEW YORK, NY (PRWEB) November 10, 2016 -- Cürex Group—an institutional foreign exchange execution services and data analytics company—announced today that Ron Papka has been named a Managing Director focusing on the development of data analytics and trading tools.
Mr. Papka has spent over 25 years creating analytical tools across capital markets asset classes.

He has previously worked for various firms, including Barclays Capital, Lehman Brothers, and BlackRock, where he built risk solutions and trading systems software for those companies and their clients.
