A leader’s job is more than innovation—it is to see the world through a fundamentally different lens and drive solutions. I believe we must harness the power of capital markets and new business models to tackle some of the world’s biggest challenges, including climate change, health issues and wealth disparities.     In my 30+ years of leadership in the financial services industry in Europe, Canada, United States and Asia I have been a strategic advisor, director, and CEO of some of the largest stock and derivatives exchanges, clearing houses, alternative markets, and broker-dealers around the globe. I’ve seen capital markets drive both economic growth and human potential, but I’ve also witnessed the obstacles faced by high-growth companies, particularly those challenging the status quo and redefining the future.      Including purpose in the DNA of your business is a competitive advantage. Purpose, profit, and social progress are linked like never before. I encourage innovative companies to think about purpose and how we can all build a better tomorrow.     My purpose: To help high-growth companies to bring their purpose-driven innovative solutions to a global market.    My words to live by: “Be curious. Seize opportunities. Innovate. Lead with purpose.”
