About Chris White

My 24 year career in financial services has been primarily focused on market structure, technology and innovation. In 2003, I was fortunate enough to join the electronic corporate bond trading start-up, MarketAxess. After helping establish the MarketAxess platform, I transitioned to electronic business development for leading investment banks like Barclays, Lehman and Goldman Sachs where I was responsible for modernizing their respective credit market making businesses. During my time at Goldman Sachs (2010 – 2015), I created the GSessions corporate bond trading platform and lead a team to successfully establish the first corporate bond IOI. Currently, I am the founder and CEO of two companies, ViableMkts, an advisory firm that provides strategic guidance on financial technology and fixed income market structure and BondCliQ, a start-up company that is building an innovative central market system for corporate bonds. In addition to ViableMkts and BondCliQ, I am the founder and editor of the Friday Newsletter and a professor at the New York Institute of Finance where I teach a course in market structure mechanics and electronic trading.
