Matteo Cassina, a former head of prime access at Goldman Sachs, is a longstanding advocate of the electronification of the markets.

From supporting the needs of the first wave of fintech players, such as online brokers and digital wealth managers around the turn of the millennium, to subsequent roles at Merrill Lynch (now Bank of America) selling execution services to broker dealers and prop traders, and his time as European president of Citadel and then UK CEO of Saxo Bank, he has had a ringside seat for the changes that have swept the trading floor over the past two decades.
