FDM Germany’s Managing Director, Claus Damwerth adds, “We are delighted to be working with Avaloq. FDM’s strong link with universities across the globe as well as its solid and profound IT training and careers programme is a real asset for Avaloq to support its fast and strong growth outside of Switzerland. Furthermore, with Avaloq we have a partner who fits perfectly our large banking customer base.”
The start of this collaboration marks the extension of FDM’s network, already having an established relationship with Murex, a leading trading platform for investment banks.
