Exclusive: Inside the GETCO Execution Services Trading Floor

Chief Operating Officer, GES

As COO of GES, Jon Herrick (right) oversees daily operations in New York. In fact, he's been in Manhattan with Drew Krichman since the beginning, he says. That was back when the firm was working on its ATS and algorithmic trading business. Herrick is confident about the move to Fixed Income. "It's a strong asset class for us on the prop side and having Samantha join the team, and a combination of our liquidity and the technology that we have built out through our client services offering in equities we think it's really going to make it," he says. "It's the next generation of what we are offering." As can be expected, Herrick relies on his Bloomberg feed along with a host of bespoke internal monitors and tools.
