Head of Strategy and Market Data, Blue Ocean

John joined Blue Ocean in early 2023 to focus on growing the company’s initial overnight market strategy by building pathways for client acquisition, market data distribution, and eventually into a leader in a global access to trading US equities. 

Previously, he had spent his career innovating in capital markets trading and technology including leading teams for over a decade at Nasdaq and TMX focused on data & analytics. He also founded his own firm focused on blending modern approaches to enabling modern and efficient markets, and engaged with global regulators to understand how and where regulations and market structure could evolve to bring new asset classes such as digital assets under regulatory certainty and improve legacy processes for traditional asset classes.
