Throughout his tenure at Deutsche Bank he held multiple leadership positions including Head of Application Services for P&L/IPV and Global Head of Equity Trading Analytics. He also served as Global Development Lead for Equities Programme Trading at JPMorgan and began his career as a Consultant at Valtech.

“Liquidnet has always stood at the forefront of fintech innovation, and I look forward to adding to our story in my new role as CTO,” said Strobel. “Our recent acquisitions of RSRCHXchange and Prattle have allowed us to deliver a new level of investment decision-support tools to our global Member network, and together we will create the next era of cutting-edge capital market solutions.”
