Instinet Positive Change – Visionary
We receive constant and consistent praise regarding this winner. His team members applaud his vision of diversity and his ability to deliver it. They report his leadership supports them individually and supports the team itself. That vision is behind the team’s success in trading terms, because it has helped them to form a cohesive unit that is expanding internationally, and it is still impressing the rest of the market.
He has created an environment in which female team members and younger team members thrive, even hiring of a school leaver under the firm’s Modern Apprentice scheme, and creating opportunity.
With peers acknowledging he is far more vocal than they, he is not just a champion on his own trading desk, but of the buy-side trading community as a whole.
The winner of this year’s Instinet Positive Change Award for Visionary is Baillie Gifford’s head of trading – Adam Conn.
