TP ICAP,
the world's largest interdealer broker, announced a seven-year strategic
collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to accelerate its digital
transformation and expand its electronic trading capabilities.
TP ICAP's $1B Cloud Gamble
with Amazon
The
partnership will focus on developing Fusion, TP ICAP's cloud-based digital
platform, with 45 AWS Professional Services engineers joining TP ICAP's
technology teams. The initiative aims to slash new product development times by
more than 50% and increase TP ICAP's AWS Cloud workload to over 80% by 2026.
Nicolas Breteau, CEO of TP ICAP
“This
strategic collaboration with AWS positions TP ICAP as a leader in digital
transformation within our industry,” said Nicolas Breteau, Group CEO of TP
ICAP. “We will be able to develop new functionality, faster, to enhance
our electronic platform, Fusion.”
AWS will
help establish an AI and Innovation Lab at TP ICAP, building on existing
projects that include regulatory governance automation using Amazon Bedrock and
client engagement analysis through chatbot technology.
“Leveraging
AWS generative AI capabilities like Amazon Bedrock, TP ICAP will be able to
rapidly deliver innovative services, gain predictive insights, increase
productivity, and better respond to customer needs,” commented Scott Mullins,
Managing Director of Financial Services at AWS. “This collaboration underscores
AWS's leadership in wholesale markets and our ability to deliver secure,
compliant, and AI-enabled solutions that drive tangible business value.”

The
partnership includes plans to co-develop sustainability-focused trading
solutions, supporting Amazon's goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by
2040. This builds on TP ICAP's existing success in reducing IT carbon emissions
by 31% year-over-year through AWS adoption.
Tanuja Randery, VP & Managing Director AWS EMEA
“We are
excited to embark on this transformative journey with TP ICAP,” added Tanuja Randery, VP & Managing Director AWS
EMEA. “TP ICAP’s ‘All in on Cloud’ strategy aims to migrate over 80% of its
technology infrastructure to AWS by the end of 2026. This will reduce TP ICAP’s
reliance on physical data centers and legacy systems, delivering millions in
annual savings and cutting carbon emissions.”
Liquidnet Expansion
In related
news, TP ICAP's Liquidnet division announced key appointments to strengthen its
European execution capabilities. Prashanth Manoharan joins as Head of Execution
Consulting in EMEA from BNP Paribas, while Oliver Ekers and Henry Baugniet join
as Execution Trader and Execution Analyst, respectively.
“As
our members navigate a fragmented and complex liquidity landscape, they need a
comprehensive service model from their agency partner to guide them,” said Gareth
Exton, Head of Execution and Quantitative Services, EMEA at Liquidnet. “At
Liquidnet, we are committed to meeting this need, offering high-touch,
portfolio, and algorithmic trading channels through our trading desk, along
with our robust Execution Consulting capabilities.”
Liquidnet
has recently made several other strategic hires to bolster its global
operations. In October 2024, the company appointed Eric Blake as Head of Latin
America, tasking him with expanding Liquidnet's presence in the region by
identifying new liquidity sources and delivering tailored technology solutions.
In August
2024, Liquidnet introduced a multi-asset services division to consolidate
operations across various markets and provide clients with access to diverse
financial instruments. To lead this initiative, the company appointed Balraj
Briah as Head of Multi-Asset Services. Briah, a financial industry veteran with
over 25 years of experience, previously held a trader roles for BNY Mellon, Nomura, and Citi, and was associated with BTIG for the past seven years.
Additionally,
in July 2024, Liquidnet named Jeffrey Crane as Head of International for the
Americas.
In the
meantime, TP
ICAP expanded its MENA footprint with a new office in Dubai's International
Financial Centre (DIFC), tripling its physical presence in the region.

The trades that taught me the most aren't the ones that worked. They're the ones that didn't — or the ones I almost caught and didn't have the nerve to ride. In this session, I'll tell you about the Brexit miss, the SNB shocker that nearly handed me a 5400% return, the BoJ surprise that punched me in the gut, and a few wins along the way. Each story carries a lesson, but the lessons aren't the point. Everyone who trades long enough collects a portfolio of moments like these; what separates the people who stay in the game is what they do with them.

Most market post-mortems describe what happened to prices. Few describe what happened in the trading room while the position was open: the entry conviction, the moments that tested it, and the exit decision that closed the book.
This session brings one seasoned trader to the stage for an unfiltered account of the position that still defines how they think about markets.
Attendees will walk away with:
-A first-hand account of how a conviction trade is built, from thesis and entry through position management and exit
-Understanding of what turns a market observation into a live position, and what holds it when conditions shift
-Insight into how timing, execution quality, and market structure shaped the final result
-Perspective on what the trade revealed about edge, risk tolerance, and when to hold through a position moving against you
-Clarity on what separates a well-built trade from a well-timed one
