Prior to that, he held positions at the Economic Development Office, Department of Regional Affairs, Economy and Health of the Republic and State of Geneva and was President of the Swiss Chinese Chamber of Commerce (SCCC), Geneva Chapter, and a member of the Board of the SCCC in Zurich.
Paul Lynch
Paul Lynch began his career as a derivatives trader on the LIFFE floor before moving on to become an expert in algorithmic trading. Prior to establishing itarle in Switzerland and across the globe he was Head of Algorithmic Trading at Citigroup.
Dan Day-Robinson, Chairman of ICDA commented on the appointments, “I’m delighted to welcome Paul and Stéphane to our Board. They will be able to augment ICDA’s unique role as an Association based in continental Europe serving the global commodities and derivatives space, particularly at a time of geopolitical, business and regulatory flux in our industry. As well as supporting ICDA’s traditional role, both new board members have a strong commitment to pursuing the Association’s evolutionary strategy, which explores new products, platforms and products from a business development perspective."
