After an early 1990s stint working on trading technology for Bank of America Corp., Niki Beattie took a job as a contractor in Merrill Lynch & Co.’s finance department. But the boredom was too much for her, so she took eight months off to travel. Coaxed back to Merrill by the promise of a trading-floor position that came open in 1994, she would become one of Europe’s pioneering electronic traders — running Merrill’s first e-trading desk in London in 2001 — and experts on market structure. “I saw the transformation of our whole business,” recalls Beattie, who has a BSc in information systems and management from Birkbeck, University of London. “I could see our margins shrinking and knew we had to bring costs down.” She stayed with Merrill until 2008, rising to head of market structure for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, then founded Market Structure Partners, a London-based adviser to exchanges and other capital market participants. She had a hand in developing such infrastructure components as BOAT, a trade reporting system now owned by Cinnober Financial Technology, and London Stock Exchange Group’s Turquoise platform. Currently nonexecutive chairman of London upstart Aquis Exchange, Beattie observes that “banks are seeing a massive squeeze on their capital. It’s quite clear that exchanges will have to play a bigger role in capital formation.”
