IntercontinentalExchange, Inc(R) (NYSE: ICE), a leading operator of regulated global futures exchanges, clearing houses and over-the-counter (OTC) markets today announced that its Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Edwin Marcial, was named to the InfoWorld CTO 25 Awards list for 2009. The awards feature was published on International Data Group's (IDG) InfoWorld website today.
Said Galen Gruman, Executive Editor/News and Features, InfoWorld: "The diversity of challenges that a CTO faces was very evident in this year's InfoWorld CTO 25 entries. But what was common across the 25 CTOs we chose as the year's top CTOs was a combination of management savvy, technological insight, and the ability to lead a team to success even in difficult circumstances. This year's honorees reinvented untenable legacies, provided game-changing insight, and managed both their own teams and key organization stakeholders to make their businesses succeed through the use of technology. Our honorees did much more than implement technology well; they brought its use to a new level."
Chuck Vice, ICE President and Chief Operating Officer, said: "As one of the founding members of the ICE team, Edwin has led the development and growth of the ICE platform, which is today one of the most sophisticated trading platforms globally. In addition to the launch of ICE Clear Europe in 2009, Edwin managed a range of other initiatives that continue to contribute to ICE's growth as a company."
InfoWorld credited Marcial with guiding the development of and transition to ICE's new European clearing house, while simultaneously working on other projects including the continued build out of the core ICE derivates trading platform that operates all of ICE's exchange business to achieve industry-leading sub-3 millisecond transaction times for futures markets.
