Alan Schwarz
As some of you already know, February 1st will bring the end of my journey at FXSpotStream, a company I co-founded and led as CEO for over 11 1/2 years. Will keep the drivers for this moment to myself for now, but time to move on and very much looking forward to the next chapter.
According to its official website, FXSpotStream provides its clients with access to GUI or a single API from co-location sites in New York, London and Tokyo. The firm can also communicate with all liquidity-providing banks connected to the FXSpotStream solution.
I am very proud of what we have built as an internal team at FXSpotStream. I have learned a great deal during this decade plus journey and have been fortunate to watch as people at the company have grown personally and professionally.
