According to Anthony Tassone, Chief Executive Officer for Green Key Technologies, in a recent statement on the appointment, “We are absolutely thrilled to have Ray onboard. Ray has over 25 years of experience in the financial markets having built successful sales teams at ICE, Morgan Stanley and CME. We are transitioning from start-up infancy to growth stage and Ray is a big part of that process.”

“Telecom is moving to the PC – where VoIP is dramatically cheaper, more secure and compliant. The average brokerage firm will save hundreds of thousands of dollars in telecom costs and efficiency gains by switching to Green Key.”

“I was completely blown away by the soft turret technology. Green Key is a powerhouse development team whose voice software is revolutionizing the market. We can help firms save millions of dollars. Green Key is a game changer,” added Mr. McKenzie in an accompanying statement.

Earlier this year, Green Key Technologies tapped Steve Van Deusen as its Director of Compliance technology in a move to focus and expand on the firm’s Trader Voice Box. Mr. Van Deusen has since overseen the company’s software capabilities.
