Summary
Michael Lex is a seasoned financial technology consultant and founder with over three decades of hands-on experience in securities and derivatives trading, including senior trading roles at Hauck & Aufhäuser and chief-dealer responsibilities on DTB/EUREX since 1997. As Geschäftsführer of Setup GmbH Unternehmensberatung and LEXMAIR Solutions, he advises banks and financial service providers on trading systems, technical architecture, and complex migrations tied to mergers, squeezes-out, and business carve-outs. He combines deep domain expertise in options, futures, and post-trade processing with practical skills in solution design, project and cutover management, and live system rollouts. Known for translating trading-floor requirements into robust software and operational processes, he regularly leads project and subproject deliveries that bridge business, risk and IT stakeholders. Based in the Greater Munich area, he brings a trader’s precision to technical migrations and a consultant’s mindset for pragmatic, auditable outcomes. An uncommon strength is his dual perspective as both former market-maker and technical architect, enabling him to spot operational risks others might miss.
