2015技术50：阿德娜弗里德曼

担任私募股权公司凯莱尔集团的首席财务官三年后，阿德娜弗里德曼在2014年6月来到纳斯达克OMX集团。她从1993年开始的纳斯达克股票市场是实习生的。当她在2011年离开时，她透过了持续的67100万美元的IPO，弗里德曼花了更多than ten years on the New York–based market operator’s management team and was instrumental in closing acquisitions, including that of Sweden-based OMX, that transformed Nasdaq into a global, multiproduct exchange and technology powerhouse. “It was a great opportunity to come back to a business I’m passionate about,” says Friedman, 45, now one of two presidents reporting to CEO Robert Greifeld. (The other, Hans-Ole Jochumsen, is president of global trading and market services.) Friedman’s global capital access, technology and insights remit encompasses nontrading businesses, including listing and information services and technology solutions. Those activities accounted for 63 percent of the company’s first-quarter net revenue of $507 million. “Technology is at the heart of what we’re doing to drive growth,” says Friedman, who has a BA in political science from Williams College and an MBA from Vanderbilt University’s Owen Graduate School of Management, and whose previous Nasdaq roles included CFO and head of corporate strategy. More than 70 marketplaces in 50 countries — and one out of ten securities transactions worldwide — run on Nasdaq technology, a business that has been boosted in recent years by demand for its BWise risk management and SMARTS surveillance systems. Regarding an initiative launched in May to explore cryptocurrency developments, Friedman says, “Posttrade solutions are there to essentially mutualize risk and carry a trade from settlement to clearing. If the blockchain can take us to real-time settlement, it fundamentally changes the nature of trading.”
