“Greg was my manager for a number of years. We built the global operations team together at CMC Markets. He allowed myself and the rest of the team to feel empowered under his leadership. Experimentation, proof of concepts and being at the cutting edge of technology to drive the business forward is what he is all about. A firm but fair leader, who always listens. A great manager at the time and a personal friend now, it is always a pleasure.”
