As a member of our Executive Board, he will build even further on his track record of fortifying our commercial and exchange relationships, bringing increased business through the growing deployment of our popular RTD Tango algorithmic trading solution; the adoption of our proximity hosting service for high-speed, ultra low latency trading opportunities, and the ever-growing list of exchanges with whom we connect."
