Templum Markets, a registered Broker Dealer and Alternative Trading System (ATS), has appointed Bernard Van der Lande as Chief Issuance Officer (CIO). 

Templum Markets operates a regulated technology platform for the private issuance and secondary trading of digitalised securities. As a member of the senior executive team, Van der Lande will lead Templum Market’s origination, issuance and distribution process. 
 
Vince Molinari, CEO of Templum Markets, says: “Bernard’s extensive experience with traditional, cross-border and digitized capital formation strategies, his experience transacting and recapitalising a variety of public and private investment vehicles, and his global network of sophisticated institutional investors and sources of capital make him an ideal fit for the role.”
 
Van der Lande says: “More than USD3 trillion of unregistered securities were issued privately in the United States in 2017, far outpacing the estimated USD1.5 trillion in public offerings during the same period. While this shift is in itself dramatic, I believe that digitised securities will further enhance the power of the private markets and increase transparency, efficiency, and regulatory compliance. I am excited about the vertically integrated solution that Templum Market’s regulatory approval sets offer institutional investors. The Templum Market’s platform is a centralised destination for potentially unprecedented private securities liquidity."
