DealCloud Appoints James Brierley as Solutions Engineer for EMEA
23.11.2020 11:00:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
DealCloud, the premier provider of deal, relationship, and firm management software to capital market firms, announces the appointment of James Brierley as Solutions Engineer, based in London. With more than 7 years of experience across asset classes with a technology focus, Brierley’s appointment will help fuel the DealCloud Solutions Engineering program in the EMEA region.
Prior to joining DealCloud, Brierley led technology efforts at Park Square Capital, a leading private debt manager. He worked across the organization with a remit of procuring best-in-class technology solutions to support the next stage of Park Square’s growth.
Brierley’s first-hand knowledge of the available technology in the private capital markets will ensure DealCloud clients — both current and prospective — are well-placed to maximize the value that a solution like DealCloud can provide.
“Having witnessed the shortcomings of generic CRM firsthand, I was fortunate enough to be introduced to DealCloud,” he commented. “Frustratingly, one of the bigger hurdles facing my previous firm — like many in the industry — hinged on being tied into a contract with the aforementioned CRM. After researching the alternatives, DealCloud seemed to solve so many issues facing the firm that I was able to put together a strong business case for migration.”
As a former DealCloud client, Brierley enjoys a unique perspective. “Having gone through the DealCloud sales process, implementation, and account management, I’m well-placed to help our clients connect the dots of their ecosystems and keep up with the ever-growing demands facing firms in the private capital markets,” he remarked.
“We had the pleasure of working with James as a client for several years before he joined us to lead our Solutions Engineering efforts in EMEA,” said Michael Santos, Vice President of EMEA sales for DealCloud. “The volume of large and complex transactions in our industry is on the rise, and DealCloud has taken on a life of its own, expanding outside of just CRM and deal management. James’s industry and product knowledge will ensure our clients are poised to tap into the full potential of the DealCloud solution. His ability to solve problems, break down issues, and rebuild better than before is exactly what we were looking for in this role.”
Brierley began his career at Islandbridge Capital and later joined the operations team at Impax Asset Management. He holds a bachelor’s degree with honors in accounting and finance from Durham University. Outside the office, Brierley is a keen sportsman who particularly enjoys rugby and squash, and describes himself as a born-again cricketer.

Icon Solutions Showcases How Banks Can Accelerate Digital Asset Innovation with IPF9.6.2026 12:30:00 EEST | Press release
Icon Solutions – the UK fintech enabling banks to design and implement state-of-the-art payment systems – has released a reference implementation showing how banks can use the Icon Payments Framework (IPF) to accelerate support for payments processing using distributed ledger technology (DLT)-based digital assets. As IPF is agnostic to both the type of digital asset and the DLT network on which they are issued, the risk of fragmentation is reduced as adoption scales. There is growing momentum for digital assets such as stablecoins, tokenised deposits, deposit tokens and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) to enable faster, cheaper and smarter payments. Yet the emergence of different digital asset types and DLT networks – which must also work with existing financial infrastructure – creates fragmentation and operational complexity for banks. This is compounded by legacy vendor solutions that limit choice and lock banks in, making it slow, costly and risky to make the changes require

Forrester Reveals The Top 10 Highest-Performing Brands In Its 2026 Global Total Experience Score Rankings At Its CX Events9.6.2026 10:30:00 EEST | Press release
According to Forrester’s (Nasdaq: FORR) 2026 global Total Experience Score rankings of 375 brands evaluated across Asia Pacific, Europe, and North America in 2025 and 2026, 41% improved their scores while only 3% declined. A compelling total experience — calculated by combining Forrester’s Customer Experience Index (CX Index™), Brand Experience Index (BX Index™), and, for the first time, the new Employee Experience Index (EX Index™) into a unified view of performance — can drive outsized growth for brands. While brand experience and customer experience can each drive revenue independently, the impact multiplies when they are orchestrated together as a unified total experience. In the US, for example, companies delivering a strong total experience see significantly higher returns from retention and enrichment: Automotive firms achieve a 2.6x revenue lift and retailers see a 3.8x increase. The new research finds that CX scores improved in North America, European brands remained mostly st
IQM Announces Novel Quantum Error Correction Approach Toward Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computing9.6.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release
IQM Quantum Computers, the global leader in superconducting quantum computers, has developed a novel quantum error-correcting code that achieves up to three orders of magnitude lower logical error rates than the surface code, also requiring up to eight times fewer physical qubits. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260609533201/en/ IQM´s breakthrough technology, called barbell codes. Unlike many alternative high-performance quantum error-correction approaches, the new code also maintains a comparatively low hardware complexity, marking a significant advancement toward scalable fault-tolerant quantum computing. Quantum error correction remains one of the defining challenges in the race toward practical quantum computing.
