Trading Technologies (TT) announced a new phase in its leadership as Justin Llewellyn-Jones prepares to take over as CEO. Effective March 31, he will replace Keith Todd, who will transition to Deputy Chairman of the Board.

According to the company, this leadership change comes as TT continues its expansion beyond listed derivatives into multiple asset classes while integrating recent acquisitions and launching new business lines.

“TT is laser-focused on our customers and partners, and there is a tremendous opportunity for us to support the acceleration of their growth as we drive innovation and digitization through our platform,” Llewellyn-Jones said.

“I’m very excited about our current trajectory and intend to stay the course on the fundamentals of our vision and strategy, while recognizing we must remain agile in a constantly evolving landscape, and that our work on continuous process improvement and service excellence is never done.”

Llewellyn-Jones brings decades of fintech and financial services experience to his new role. He joined TT as Chief Operating Officer in early 2024.

A Seasoned Industry Expert

Before joining TT, Llewellyn-Jones held leadership positions at Broadridge, ION, and Fidessa, gaining expertise in capital markets, derivatives, and trading technology. His background includes overseeing business operations, product strategy, and service delivery across global markets.

"As CEO, Keith impressively led TT to achieve all goals set out in its five-year plan in just three years. We now look forward to the next chapter, as the new CEO, Justin, will rely on his proven track record of success throughout his 30-year career and benefit from his past year at TT working with Keith,” commented Carsten Kengeter, the Chairman of TT.

Originally rooted in listed derivatives, TT now offers solutions across futures, options, fixed income, foreign exchange, and cryptocurrencies. Its expansion has been fueled by acquisitions and the development of new services, including data analytics, compliance tools, and infrastructure solutions.
