Real-time data streaming and messaging solutions firm DiffusionData has appointed Scott Fink as Managing Director for the Americas, responsible for all customer and partner engagements across the US, Canada and Latin America. He is based in Illinois.

Diffusion's Intelligent Data Platform pulls in large or small volumes of raw data, enhances it and distributes it across enterprises with varying levels of access allowed.

Fink (pictured) joins after more than seventeen years at derivatives marketplace CME Group, latterly as Executive Director, Site Reliability Engineering. During his time with the company, Fink was responsible for global trading and post trade infrastructure and support, to manage market data delivery. He also oversaw teams in Chicago, New York, Belfast, London and APAC, to support CME's trading and clearing applications and post-trade processing in production environments.
