Gaining a competitive edge
Over much of my career, I have focused on the application of technology in the financial sector, initially at IBM and later at OMX and Nasdaq.
My consulting practice is focused on helping exchanges or financial firms that interact with exchanges gain a competitive advantage. Over time my work has evolved to address issues of strategy—how a firm can best use technology to achieve strategic objectives. I work independently, or I may include colleagues, depending upon the nature and extent of an assignment.
Since 2009, I have also done some consulting work in the clean technology sector, helping young companies perfect their business strategies to maximize growth potential.
