SAN MATEO, CA (ACCESSWIRE) -- Infima Technologies, a fixed-income predictive analytics company, today announced a series of appointments to form their new management team to support the fintech company’s accelerated growth in the mortgage-backed securities market. Michael Digris will be taking on the role of Vice President and Head of Product, alongside Derk Osenberg, who has been appointed as Vice President of Sales & Marketing. In addition, team members Bonnie Loo, Director of Operations, and Shanika Puckett, Director of Marketing have been appointed to implement and execute the day-to-day operations of Infima.
These hires come on the heels of the recent seed round of $5 million. The influx of resources will help Infima bring Deep Learning-driven MBS analytics to customers and execute on its product roadmap.
“As part of our aggressive growth strategy, we wanted to make the right hires for our business to help scale, from new sales to product, marketing and operations,” said Hendrik Bartel, CEO of Infima. “We couldn’t be more excited to welcome this group of veterans to our team.”
Michael Digris, Vice President, and Head of Product is responsible for driving product roadmap and vision, bringing more than 20 years of senior management experience, focusing on financial services, fixed income, exchange traded securities, commercialized data feeds, trading systems and electronic trading.

“Infima is a company bringing vastly superior technological solutions to a marketplace that has been starving for alternatives to those offered by the larger players in the space.

The applications for this deep learning model are many and when the opportunity arose to join this team I did not have to think twice about coming aboard!” said Digris.
