Welcome to Episode One of Progressing Financial Markets, a podcast series brought to you by Voices in Business and sponsored by IBM.

This first episode of the series, entitled “Setting the Scene”, features Lee Hodgkinson, CEO of SWX Europe, in conversation with Keith Saxton, Global Director of Financial Markets at IBM and Suzanne Duncan, Financial Markets Industry Leader at IBM’s Institute for Business Value.

Lee has been a member of the SWX Swiss Exchange Management Committee for five years, holding responsibility for the Market Operations division, where he led the development of SWX’s high-capacity transaction platform. He joined the company in 2001 as Head of Operations before becoming Director of Business Development. He began his career in the Markets Division of the London Stock Exchange, where he worked for nine years and is an alumni of Harvard Business School.

In this interview, Lee discusses with Keith and Suzanne how the current market outlook has affected his own strategic initiatives, the changing role of technology within the trading environment, how liquidity power is shifting across the industry, the impact of dark pools and algorithmic trading, how risk management is evolving and the ever-present but constantly changing world of regulation.
