Numerix offers clients a highly flexible and fully transparent framework for the pricing and risk analysis of any type of OTC derivative financial instrument.

“With the addition of our regional mid-west and west coast sales presence, we now have the total coverage and industry experience in place to drive sales and accelerate our position in these two important regions for Numerix,” said Steven R. O’Hanlon, President and COO of Numerix. “I am confident in our team’s ability to achieve the goals and strategic objectives that we have set in place for them.”
