They went through a lot of big changes and interesting events, from the Euro conversion to preparing for Y2K. She was interfacing between the traders and developers, helping them use technology to solve problems, and she ultimately became more of a project manager. She then took on a series of different roles within the company, including helping set up the Centers of Excellence in Raleigh and Singapore. She is originally from India, and she  moved back to Mumbai in 2011 to work with the new Global Arbitrage trading desk.    Now she is the India Head of Flow and Trade Management. They provide technology infrastructure and systems support for the company’s trading operations.
