Previous Positions:

I joined AXA Rosenberg as a trader in 1988 and have been head trader since 1999. Prior to joining AXA Rosenberg, I was an associate at Citicorp Investment Bank in New York, working with the sales and trading teams. From 1982 to 1986, I was a systems engineer at New York Telephone.

Education:

B.S. from Northwestern University; M.S. from Polytechnic Institute; M.B.A. from Harvard Business School.

When Reg NMS is finally in place, I think we will finally have a solidification of all these interconnected systems. I think in the next few years, everyone will have the opportunity to be everywhere.
