Teching up the Financial World, One Algorithm at a Time
How software enables us to peek deeper into the depths of the global financial markets
One might think that the world of finance is no place for techies and tech leaders, but let’s be honest here – tech mavericks have a way of developing tech that can take almost any industry to the next level. And here, we have Chris Goddard, CTO & Partner at G-Research, who’ll dive deep into the comings and goings in the world of algorithmic trading, and how tech can help take it to the next level. From his beginnings, all the way to where he is now, Chris’ story is one we’re sure will captivate you through and through.
“No position or job will be tailored to you; you’ll need to adapt. But look for one that is closer to who you are as a person, as this will help you be more flexible, and learn more.“
