Telang joins Liquidnet following a career in the financial services industry that has spanned over two decades. He started his journey as a software engineer with Cisco Systems.
In his new role, he will lead the development of Liquidnet’s equity trading platform and the creation of data-driven offerings, namely in algorithmic trading. He will also help Liquidnet’s Fixed Income and Investment Analytics businesses in integration and client support fields.
Telang lands at Liquidnet as the fixed income market is undergoing dramatic changes, as the applicability of electronic trading across the sector has been much slower than the equity and forex markets. In the best case, it is still largely limited to the most liquid parts of the market.
Since launching in September 2015, Liquidnet’s community of fixed income asset managers has grown to 200 active firms, around 70 of which are in Europe, who have traded some 17,000 different ISINs to date. This growth has been fueled by members’ ability to trade in institutional size, with an average execution of $2.4 million.
