Not only does the firm have a more than 100-year history and full commitment to the futures business, but I’ve been amazed at the longevity of the Board, management, employees and clients alike. I believe RJO is ideally positioned in this regulatory and global environment, and I’m looking forward to bringing aboard new salespeople and clients in the growing regional offices in New York and London.”
