Drive Growth

With over 30 years of leadership in fintech and capital markets, I help trading technology firms scale, innovate, and prepare for acquisition or IPO. My experience spans product strategy, global business development, and M&A integration.

From front-office trading systems to recurring revenue models, I partner with clients to turn complex market challenges into growth opportunities.

Product Strategy & Execution

With deep domain expertise in listed derivatives and global capital markets, I bring a proven track record in driving product strategy and execution.

 

As the former Chief Product Officer at Broadridge Trading & Connectivity Solutions, I led the development of scalable, multi-asset front-office trading platforms adopted by Tier-1 institutions worldwide.

 

My experience spans the full product lifecycle—from strategic vision through to delivery—enabling clients to compete effectively across global markets.

Business Development & Market Penetration

Built over 30 years, working in Capital Markets, I’ve developed an extensive senior-level network across sell-side, buy-side, and market infrastructure firms, enabling direct access to key decision-makers. This network, combined with a proven ability to deliver revenue growth, has helped secure and expand vendor relationships.

Lead Generation

My deep understanding of the key players across capital markets and asset management—spanning sell-side institutions, buy-side firms, and market infrastructure providers—enables me to quickly identify and engage the right stakeholders for any technology offering. 

 

By aligning product value with the strategic priorities of market participants, I help firms generate high-quality leads that translate into long-term commercial partnerships.

Why Institutions Should Adopt a Buy and Build Strategy


In this article, I explore why the outdated “buy vs. build” debate no longer applies in capital markets. Using a Formula 1 analogy, I argue that firms should adopt a buy-and-build approach—combining speed, flexibility, and innovation to modernize trading infrastructure efficiently.
