MIAMI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Industry veteran Vikas Saxena, will be joining Insigneo, the Miami-based Independent Broker-Dealer and Registered Investment Advisory firm, as the company’s new Head of Technology and Innovation. In this role, he will report to Javier Rivero, Insigneo’s Chief Operating Officer.
