I have been at ICAP for 8+ years: the same firm since I graduated from college. I absolutely thrive on the high energy and fast paced nature of the trading floor, where every day is different and challenging. I have successfully contributed to the bottom line of my desk, as well as being able to bring in, build and successfully maintain relationships both within and outside our organization.I have focused primarily on the Equity Options markets since joining ICAP, and have become an expert in electronically traded products. And because of my extensive knowledge and expertise I was asked to set up, launch, develop and manage a new trading operation in Philadelphia for the firm, where I commuted 2 1/2 hours each way, every day for 15 months. It is still up and running today! The skills that I bring to work everyday, can be summarized as follows:IntegrityStrong analytical abilityAdvanced Excel and powerpoint knowledgeProblem solverIntense work ethicAbility to build and maintain quality customer relationshipsTeam playerCompetitive mindsetAttentive to details
