Its functionality and modular architecture allow trading firms to fully automate trading strategies in a comprehensive, cost efficient platform.

Flury, both founder and CEO at AlgoTrader, comments: “Richard is a perfect fit to help AlgoTrader guide its growth and develop its brand. We were looking to bring on someone knowledgeable and seasoned in the financial industry to secure new clients and partnerships, and refine the service offering for our current clients. With his broad market knowledge and variety of experiences mixed with his extensive network of contacts in the industry, Richard will be guiding some of our most pivotal decisions in our upcoming growth strategies.”
