SunGard appoints two new presidents

Murphy is familiar with the SunGard Collateral solution, having led the team while at UK-based software firm, Synamic, where he played a key role in growing its collateral business prior to its sale to SunGard in 1999.

Husk, meanwhile, joins SunGard from Iris Financial Engineering, a supplier of custom-built software solutions for the capital markets, where he was managing director and chief executive. He will lead SunGard's credit risk management market projects, with oversight for Credient, a global credit risk management and control solution delivered via an application service provider framework.

Husk's previous experience includes positions as head of sales within Oracle's European-based financial services division. He holds an MBA from the Wharton School of Finance, University of Pennsylvania, and served as senior vice-president of Infinity Financial Technology between 1994 and 1999, before the subsequent re-branding to SunGard Trading and Risk Systems.
