Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRichard Linnell is a hands-on digital transformation leader and low-latency fintech engineer with over two decades of experience at the intersection of finance, business and technology. He has architected and delivered large-scale trading and portfolio platforms — from ultra low-latency FX and crypto connectivity to cloud-native, event-driven interest rate derivatives systems — and has led dispersed teams of 40+ engineers to production for tier-one banks and buy-side firms. Combining chartered accountancy and analyst credentials with deep application development skills in C# and Rust, he uniquely bridges financial domain expertise and architect-level technical delivery. Richard’s work has enabled significant market efficiencies, including systems that materially reduce post-trade friction and settlement costs. Equally comfortable in hands-on coding and client-facing delivery, he routinely implements FIX-based trading flows and liaises with execution venues to turn trading vision into live infrastructure. Based in London, he is motivated by building world-class teams that translate complex financial problems into reliable, high-performance systems.
