Keynsham, Bristol

This company was created to design and build "energy from waste"​ plants. The first plant will be built near Keynsham, Bristol. The plant will take food waste, and other organic materials, and produce biogas using the "anaerobic digestion"​ process. Some of the biogas (which is 60% methane and 40% carbon dioxide) will be used as fuel for an internal combustion engine which will drive a generator to produce electricity, mainly for use by the plant. The rest of the biogas will be purified to 99%… Show more This company was created to design and build "energy from waste"​ plants. The first plant will be built near Keynsham, Bristol.

I've also prepared the contracts for the supply and sale of the commodities (food waste supply, electricity and gas sale, and disposal of the "digestate" which is the liquid fertiliser end product of the anaerobic digestion process).

My role and responsibilities expanded to include COO and project management duties. I was also responsible for the successful deployment of MiFID changes (1 Nov 2007), plus I delivered the deferred MiFID changes via non-European front office trading applications (6 in Asia and 22 in USA) within the mandatory 12 months.2) The market data “tick” database used ultra-fast kdb+ technology to provide a highly resilient and high quality data platform. The data was used by trading platforms (including low latency arbitrage trading) and researchers. My role as Portfolio Manager was to bring the development teams for different businesses (Equities, FX, Commodities and Rates) and locations (London, NY, HK & Tokyo, Moscow) into a unified structure for managing their customers and book of work, as well as keep an iron grip on the budget. I also managed projects myself, plus provided interim management for the FX team.3) The Financial & Risk Reporting Reconciliation programme was very high profile with regular reporting direct to the board. This first phase involved 7 platforms, each with its own IT and business project managers. As Cross-Workstream Interface Manager I exposed and resolved many items that would have prevented the success of the programme. This included implementing dependency management, radically streamlining the change control process, delivering multiple test environments, and maturing the new platforms to “production-readiness”.
