In this episode I chatted with Chief Product Officer at Trading Technologies (TT), Jason Shaffer. Having started in the pit and moved to the screen right when electronic futures were launched I have seen an amazing evolution of execution on the screen. There are more order types these days than I ever could have imagined so I wanted to do a show on pure order execution. In this podcast we covered everything I can think of about order execution. I learned a lot and I’m looking forward to reading your comments.

Trading Technologies International has announced the promotion of four executive leaders in the organization. Farley Owens is now president, Roger Mills is chief financial officer, Guy Scott is EVP global head of sales, and Bharat Mittal is chief technology officer.

Trading Technologies, a futures trading system and software company, announced a shakeup in its leadership team as it promotes a slate of internal executives with the departure of Michael Kraines, president and CFO. Farley Owens has been promoted to president, Roger Mills will serve as CFO, Guy Scott is now an executive vice president in charge of global sales, and Bharat Mittal has been promoted to CTO.

Rick Lane is out at Trading Technologies as CEO and chairman, but still with the company in a non-titled supporting role for the time being, at a time when the company is rumored to be in the midst of a sale. Tim Geannopulos, the former global head of sales at Trading Technologies and a major TT shareholder, is in as the new CEO and chairman, returning to the company after a stint as a consultant and start-up investor and fintech executive. So why is this change occurring at a time when the company is reportedly for sale? There is not an easy answer, but my question in the title gives part of the answer, I think.
