Welcome to
XTX markets

I lead the Operations team in New York, where I support our cross-asset operations, reconciling and checking that the millions of trades we transact are accounted for and confirmed with all of our counterparties on a real-time basis. I also ensure our risk exposures and positions with each of our counterparties are being managed correctly. We have developed robust, scalable solutions and are constantly improving our efficiency as a result, whilst maintaining absolute accuracy with our data and reporting. It is challenging work in a fast-paced environment, where no two days are ever the same and, for me, this is what it’s all about. I enjoy seeing processes I have refined being implemented and seeing the immediate results.

I lead the Business Development team globally at XTX. Most of my time is spent building and maintaining relationships with our trading partners along with expanding our product and geographical reach. Business development is an extremely diverse role and the variety keeps things interesting and challenging. One day I’ll be talking to the CEO of an exchange about business strategy and the next I’ll be delving into the minutiae of market microstructure enhancements or describing execution performance with a client. Prior to joining XTX, I tended to be siloed into one product or area but here at XTX, I feel valued as a firmwide contributor and get involved in every aspect of the business. I really appreciate being part of this team ethic.

I work with external clients, platforms and vendors and integrate them to facilitate trading of our OTC products. Dealing with technical integrations, while working closely with external clients, has always ticked the boxes for me personally, and it’s great to go home at the end of the day knowing that we have delivered solutions to our business and clients.

Every day is different and although there are never enough hours in the day, I’m one of those people who enjoy working in a busy and productive environment. The firm is highly collaborative and the hierarchy and bureaucracy that can hinder other companies is non-existent, meaning that I am trusted to do my best and to enact change and progress. I have never been as productive as I am here and I put this down to being given the responsibility and environment in which I can flourish.

I lead a team of software developers building XTX's OTC platforms. Our OTC market-making system offers continuous liquidity across multiple asset classes and thousands of instruments. It speaks around a hundred market data and trading protocols. We also build a range of in-house systems for real-time performance monitoring and analysis of XTX's trading activity, which generates millions of events per second.

Our team is drawn from a range of financial and non-financial backgrounds. We specialise in building high performance, highly available distributed systems. We are given a high degree of autonomy to meet requirements with the software and hardware that we see fit.
