Nasdaq OMX has made a second senior appointment to its new pan-European trading system in two weeks, hiring a compliance specialist from Credit Suisse to manage legal and regulatory issues ahead of the platform's planned launch in September.

Steve Matthews will join Nasdaq OMX Pan European Market as chief legal and compliance officer. A barrister by training, Matthews spent four years with UK regulator the Financial Services Authority before joining Citigroup and then Credit Suisse as a compliance officer.
