LiquidityBook, a software-as-a-service (SaaS)-based provider of buy and sell-side trading solutions, has hired Stephanie Minister as managing director of connectivity services.
In this role, Minister will lead a newly created arm of the LiquidityBook corporate structure.
She will spearhead business development efforts for LBX Connect, LiquidityBook’s proprietary managed FIX network.
LBX Connect enables users to interact with over 250 routing destinations across 80 markets globally in an intuitive and cost-effective manner.
Minister will interface with exchanges, third-party network providers and institutional brokers in markets across the world to maximise the network's reach. She will also play a direct role in future plans for additional FIX-related products and services.
During her career, Minister spent 15 years as a project manager for global trading integration at ITG and, following its acquisition in 2019, Virtu Financial.
At ITG, she managed all aspects of the firm’s global vendor partner relationships, including business and client requirements, financial commitments, business contracts, project management and FIX integrations.
She has also worked in senior sales roles at Instinet, Boston Stock Exchange and Bridge Information Systems.
In addition, Minister serves as a Governor for Security Traders Association (STA) and is a past president of Boston STA.
Sean Sullivan, chief revenue officer at LiquidityBook, says: “Stephanie Minister brings an unmatched level of respect in the FIX community, and will be crucial in our ongoing effort to scale this part of our business. We could not be more excited to have her aboard.”
