You have now been involved with the futures and options industry for just over half a year. As somebody relatively new to the business, what has been your initial impression?
The growth is so huge and the industry is so innovative and fast moving. The financial industry is viewed typically as a good adopter of technology once it is proven. So, given that, it surprised me that our direct competitors in the back office area are still deploying technology which is literally decades old.
So how does this industry compare to others that you have been involved in?
I think it is pretty exciting. I don't see any significant differences from other places I've been, other than it has clearly been something of a global village in terms of personalities and that the same people have been in this space for a long period of time.
