Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMartin Freedman is a seasoned technology executive and hands-on engineer with nearly three decades of experience across the UK and US financial markets, currently serving as CTO at Helio. He combines deep quantitative development expertise with a track record of architecting low-latency, front-to-back trading and market-data systems for commodities, FX, equities and derivatives. As a founder/co-founder and advisor he has led fundraising, M&A activity and board-level strategy for startups through large public companies, including involvement in deals approaching half a billion dollars. Equally comfortable designing award-winning GUIs and building server-side real-time time-series platforms, he brings rare full-stack fluency from market-data feed handlers to automated execution and portfolio risk models. An MSc (Distinction) in Intelligent Systems and an electronics engineering background underpin a taste for unconventional technologies (APL, J, Lisp) alongside mainstream enterprise stacks. Outside finance he has even overseen an extensive refit of a historic ex-Royal Navy launch, reflecting a pragmatic, project-focused leadership style.
