He has had a big hand in helping customers in every major region and will be a strong customer advocate in this role.”
“While TT is already seen as the leading global brand in professional futures trading software, our next-generation Trading Platform , Nextrader, will elevate the brand even higher by enabling us to mass distribute our software in ways that were never before possible. I’m thrilled to be moving into this position at the center of the futures trading world as the industry gears up for the next phase of electronic trading,” added Mr. McDonnell in an accompanying statement.
Prior to his new appointment, Mr. McDonnell was most recently the Managing Director of Asia/Pacific (APAC), a role he has been entrenched in since 2006 – during this time Mr. McDonnell worked closely with several leading banks, futures commission merchants (FCMs) and APAC exchanges.
