Taskize Names New CEO

With a combined 20 years’ experience within Euroclear Group, Diederik brings a wealth  of experience to this new role having held a number of senior client-facing roles within  Euroclear including, most recently, Global Head of Client Service within Euroclear Bank  and Deputy Branch Manager of Euroclear’s Poland branch office.  

James Pike, currently serving as Taskize’s Interim CEO, will assume the role of Chief  Revenue and Business Strategy Officer, and work to bring the platform and its growing  partner ecosystem closer to Euroclear’s data-enabled services strategy.  

Taskize, which is fully owned by Euroclear, is a secure and easy to use web-based  platform for quick, efficient problem solving between counterparties. Its secure “Bubble”  environment and Smart Directory allows clients to raise, route, track and resolve  operational issues resulting in improved response time and increased accuracy.  

Taskize is used by more than 600 firms across 88 countries. Through the efforts of Taskize  and Euroclear’s “Smart Adoption” campaign, it ranks above email and phone with a 98%  client satisfaction score across many Euroclear clients. The platform also supports a  growing number of non-European workflows.  

Diederik Geeraerts, CEO of Taskize commented: “I am incredibly proud to take the helm  of this innovative company and to be part of the great Taskize team. Having been closely  involved with Taskize since its inception and a strong advocate for the technology over  the years, I am eager to lead the company into its next phase of growth.”
