AI advisory for capital markets, asset management, and regulated finance.
Dan combines AI architecture with decades of hands-on trading technology experience across OMS, EMS, RFQ, FIX, STP, portfolio workflows, compliance, market connectivity, and regulated operations.
AI in finance needs workflow knowledge, not generic automation.
Capital markets AI projects involve sensitive data, specialized language, regulated workflows, vendor systems, portfolio context, and operational consequences. Dan's experience spans fixed income, derivatives, FX, ETFs, OMS/EMS, Bloomberg, Charles River, BlackRock Aladdin, DTCC, FIX, FpML, broker/dealer operations, and trading floor users.
That background makes the AI work more precise: which workflow can be assisted, which action needs approval, which source is authoritative, which explanation must be auditable, and which system integration will be the hard part.
