1. Chief Brokerage Architect - Personal Investor Technology

   Vanguard

   Jan 2022 — Present

   My division, Personal Investor Technology, supports the Trading/Brokerage Platform for Vanguard\'s Retail Clients. We offer a wide range of Asset Types that our clients can trade on, including Equities, ETFs, Options, Mutual Funds and Fixed Income. We are continuously re-inventing ourselves and building exciting new products for our clients, to serve as a one-stop platform for all their Financial needs, with a primary focus on long term wealth accumulation. We have an exciting journey ahead of us, and our mission is to deliver a best-in-class client experience, powered by cutting-edge tools and technologies. In my role, I partner with various teams and staff to assess where we are currently, and how to position ourselves to offer a fault-tolerant, scalable, ultra-low-latency trading platform. We are expecting to grow our trading volumes about ten-fold in the next few years, and we are re-engineering our Trading Platform to support our forecasted volumes.
