As I retire, I find myself reflecting on the incredible journey I’ve had with Nasdaq over the last 25 years. What started as a career with OMX/NASDAQ evolved in something far greater than I could have ever imagined.
I want to start by thanking Nasdaq for giving me the opportunity to be part of this great organization for a quarter of a century. Thank you for trusting me, for challenging me, and for allowing me to grow alongside a company that has consistently led the industry forward. Through all the changes, from early days of the acquisitions of OMX, Philly Stock Exchange, ISE, Evestment, Solovis, Quandl , Verafin and Adenza, I’ve been privileged to witness and contribute to the evolution. It has been the honor of a lifetime to be part of the organization for so long.
Most importantly, I want to thank my co-workers, friends, and colleagues. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with so many talented people across the organization that joined the Nasdaq family. I was able to build new friendships that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. You are the ones who made the long hours meaningful and the successes sweet. Thank you for your camaraderie, your support, and for making Nasdaq such a special place to work.
I leave with a heart full of gratitude and a lifetime of wonderful memories. I wish you all continued success, and I hope our paths cross again.
