Carrigan is a longtime member of the CBOT who helped launch its electronic trading presence in Europe in May 1999. He has been involved in electronic futures and securities business development with Credit Agricole Indosuez CARR Futures in London and also served as Managing Director of Finacor Group North America.
"Dan has been an industry leader in advancing electronic trading for futures and securities, both on the exchange and customer level," said William J. Rainer, Chairman and CEO of OneChicago. "His depth of experience in the U.S. and international trading communities will help position OneChicago as the premier international exchange for single stock futures."
"Single stock futures and narrow-based indices have the potential to become mainstay investment products for global entities," said Carrigan. "My past experience in facilitating e-commerce internationally mirrors the business model that Bill Rainer and the three Chicago exchange partners envision for OneChicago."
Carrigan has organized support from the Chicago exchange community for academic research on futures markets at the University of Illinois Colleges of Agriculture and Commerce. Carrigan holds a bachelor of science degree from the University of Illinois.
