“Tom has been instrumental in shaping the strategy and focus that have allowed us to maintain our strong market share position in U.S. cash equities and grow our U.S. equity derivatives markets to the leading position,” said Hans-Ole Jochumsen, President, Global Trading & Market Services, NASDAQ OMX.“ With Tom now taking on this global responsibility, we have the best possible leadership to integrate all our cash equities and equity derivatives businesses, providing more trading opportunities to our customers.”
Thomas A. Wittman was recently Senior Vice President, Head of U.S. Equities and Derivatives and President of NASDAQ OMX PHLX.
