In this exclusive interview, held at the most recent FTF Awards ceremony in New York City, Numerix CEO and President Steve O’Hanlon reveals how Numerix survived and thrived in the aftermath of the Great Recession to become a major valuation company in the derivatives space, winning the Lehman Brothers account—which is the largest, most comprehensive derivatives valuation project of its kind, to date. O’Hanlon discusses how this profoundly reshaped the future of Numerix. He also explores lessons learned, including the need for companies to be adaptable to change, flexible and nimble—and how these attributes enabled Numerix to become a market leader in not only pricing, but also the risk space.
O’Hanlon further explains how regulations are fueling change for the future of financial institutions— leading to the blending roles of the front, middle and back offices and the profound need for financial institutions to reinvent themselves. With real-time risk becoming critical, O’Hanlon reveals how Numerix is leading the way into the future with a new XVA product that merges one view of risk and real-time interaction throughout an organization.
