Institutional Investor Announces the Top 50 Executives in Financial Technology
Institutional Investor has released its 2013 Tech 50 list, a ranking of the most successful, innovative and influential leaders in the financial technology industry. The list, which has been conducted annually since 2000, recognizes individuals and their organizations for their vision and agility in translating innovation into competitive advantage.
In the No. 1 spot for a second year in a row is Thomas Secunda of Bloomberg LP. Institutional Investor’s Senior Contributing Editor Jeff Kutler writes, “Secunda and his team of 3,000 technologists…have continued to produce process and product innovations at a breakneck — and accelerating — pace.” The launch of Bloomberg’s App Portal, the integration of Twitter feeds into the terminal work flow and announcing a $75 million venture capital fund are just a few of the achievements that make Secunda worthy of the top spot.
