Management Team
InvestTech’s team of seasoned consultants averages nearly 15 years of experience in trading systems and investment technology—our management averages over 25 years of experience. Our consultants come directly from money management firms or from the vendor community—and often from both. We hire highly capable people with extensive track records of successful investment technology project experience—we do not believe in training on the job at your expense.
