The FTF Awards celebrate and recognize the professionals, financial technology vendors, service providers, industry bodies, and regulators that have made significant strides and had noteworthy achievements in operational excellence.

David Brown joined IPC in 2003, and as Chief Operating Officer, he is responsible for global product, research and development, operations, and support, leading significant, complex integration initiatives. Through Brown’s leadership, IPC has successfully transformed its service offerings to cater to the rapidly evolving needs of its clients, particularly after the pandemic altered the course of the financial markets and subsequent trading and connectivity needs.
“Given the industry vanguards who were also nominated for this award, it’s an incredible honor to be selected,” said David Brown upon hearing the news. “I am deeply grateful for the support from Bob Santella, the Board of Directors, as well as every one of my colleagues at IPC. I feel this win validates the company’s operational strategy and excellence in the marketplace.”
