In a significant step to bolster its international presence, Rimes, the preeminent provider of enterprise data management and investment solutions, has announced the appointment of Mark Sedgwick as the new head of its Manila office. This move is part of the company’s strategic plan to support its global operations and respond to the growing demand for its services in the Asia-Pacific region.

Mark Sedgwick, who has been serving as the global head of Rimes’ Data Management Office, will now lead the burgeoning Manila office while continuing to manage his current responsibilities. Rimes, headquartered in New York and London, currently employs nearly 150 staff members in Manila and plans to increase this number significantly due to escalating business needs.

Olrick-Anselme Olenga Disashi, Global Head of Client Managed Services at Rimes, expressed enthusiasm about Sedgwick’s new role. “Mark’s leadership skills and deep understanding of our products make him the ideal choice to spearhead our expansion in Manila. His appointment is a testament to his exceptional track record and commitment to client management,” said Disashi.

The relocation aligns with Rimes’ objective to tap into Manila’s rich pool of highly skilled professionals and leverage the strategic geographical location of the Philippines to enhance its global support model. This move is expected to not only improve service delivery across different time zones but also to harness local talent in reinforcing Rimes’ position as a leader in the investment community.

Mark Sedgwick shared his excitement about his new role and the opportunities it presents. “With over three decades in the industry, leading the Manila office marks a significant milestone in my career. The Philippines offers a dynamic environment where I am eager to replicate the success we’ve seen in other regions, but on a larger scale,” Sedgwick commented.
