Tom Higgins
Tom Higgins, CEO of Gold-i, said: “I first met Victor at a bar in Cyprus where he was attending an FX trade show, having just joined the FX industry selling Hosting technology. I immediately knew that Victor would become a friend as he had such a warm and outgoing personality, as well as that enviable ability to talk to anyone with such ease. Victor made many friends and added many new clients in his first foray into FX, which, as it does for most of us in the industry, drew him in. When he left Beeks I was really surprised as he was at home in the world of hosting, and so I was really pleased when he set up Liquidity Connect to continue his passion.”
“It has been great to continue working with Victor, since those early days, through everything from simple hosting to complex network routing between multiple Global points. We are all in shock at Gold-i as this was so sudden and it is not too often that you get to work with a true gentleman like Victor. He will remain in my memory as the first Texan I really got to know and like. Goodbye friend,” Higgins added.
