ABOUT ROSS THURSBY
I’m passionate about bridging the gap between financial markets and technology. Over the past 12 years, I’ve worked across sales & consulting, regulation and product strategy to help institutions modernise how they clear derivatives.Today, I focus on strategic development and market structure — translating complex client needs into commercial and technology outcomes. I’ve led global RFPs, built data-driven insights, and delivered thought leadership content to hundreds of clients across the buy- and sell-side.I enjoy connecting ideas, people, and platforms: bringing clarity to complexity, and turning market change into growth opportunities. My background spans ETD and cleared OTC derivatives, fintech partnerships, and client-focused innovation — always with a view to making financial infrastructure work better for the people who rely on it.
