The 10th annual American Financial Technology Awards took place on the evening of Monday, December 8, 2014 at the Marriott Marquis hotel in New York.
The list crosses the sell side, buy side and everything in between, including brokers and exchange operators. This year, we added a number of categories, and enjoyed the highest number of entries that the program has received in its decade-long history.
As always, we are grateful to our external judging panel for their time and expertise this year. They were: Anthony Vigilante, head of IT, MacKay Shields, David Kelly, CTO, Pine River, and Tara Castleberry, head of architecture, AIG. The judging panel also included senior journalists from Waters magazine.
