Investment Technology Group, an electronic-trading-systems and services vendor, best known for its Posit crossing network, has appointed Robert Russel its new chief executive officer.

Stockholm, Sweden-based OM, a hybrid exchange-owner/trading systems vendor, has named Per Nordberg its chief financial officer. Nordberg, who currently serves as the group treasurer at London-based AstraZeneca Plc, will assume his CFO post on Sept. 2.

The American Stock Exchange is consolidating its three Internet sites into a single site driven by BEA Systems' WebLogic e-business platform. The new Amex site is expected to combine the functionality of the existing sites -- Amex.com, AmexTrader.com and AmericanStocks.com -- into a single Internet address targeted at investors, stock and fund issuers and the general public.

Clarification: The article,"Brut Joins the Nasdaq Intermarket," published in last week's WS&T Week, contained a sentence that stated that Brut expects to "account for between one-third and one-half of 1 percent of the overall listed equities volume in the United States" by the end of 2002. A Brut spokesperson clarified that statement this week, noting that Brut actually expects to account for between one-third and one-half of 1 percent of the New York Stock Exchange's volume -- rather than the overall U.S.-listed equities volume.
