ABOUT OLIVER GARBE
With a high technological attitude I\'m a specialist in cash equity electronic trading (DMA & DSA), algorithmic execution strategies, trading systems (OMS & EMS), exchange and FIX connectivity and front office workflows. I\'m used to work in high-pressure environments demanding rapid responses and have very strong EMEA market structure know-how including current financial markets regulatory frameworks.Still being very hands-on I manage a team being responsible for the full suite of electronic trading systems, the algo trading and integrated risk control infrastructure, including a dedicated and proprietary equity execution algo strategy development, with staff working at multiple locations.Dedicated to deliver cutting-edge products I\'m working with a high attention to detail, nevertheless being capable to prioritise to meet business deadlines and demands.Always contributing input and ideas based on my analytical skills and - most importantly - equity trading background paired with highly-detailed macro- and micro-level technological knowledge to achieve best possible results.Having well more than 10 years of front office experience in cash equity execution I have build up a strong in-depth knowledge of the entire equity trading lifecycle, highly focused on electronic trading and trading technology. With a personal impetus on understanding processes and backgrounds I have developed a keen perception of front office problems, particularly of such when potential risk is involved.I have strong analytical, research and problem solving skills. I\'m always keen to extend my knowledge about equity-linked topics and workflows, learn about new business and technical solutions.Finally, I have good communication and tutoring skills, particularly whilst liaising with other departments (e.g. compliance, legal).
