RE: AZ Needs To Update The Market13 Mar 2023 20:36
I have just caught up with TradeFlow’s website. Others have no doubt been all over it already. What a squad of people…Apart from Dr Tom James and John Collis, there’s Linda Yang as Senior Portfolio Trade Manager; Sharon Tan-Yu as Senior Digital Trade Ops Manager; Jose Lopez, Digital Strategy Director, Soeren Duvier, VP, Digital Trade & Marine; Daniel Chua, VP, Stakeholder Relations &ESG; Ivan Markose, IT Project; Sam Owen, Energy & Commodity Senior Advisor; Nur Suria, Senior Trade Exec etc then there is the India office…all these guys and girls must have done DD, they are all dynamic ambitious people; their website looks great, really dynamic. ICC logo in huge 72point print; dozens of video links; Board Advisors are Hedge Fund Entrepreneurs..middle aged guys who look as though they’ve made a bob or two in their life. TradeFlow’s website makes Supply&ME’s look really old fashioned and lacking any dynamism.
Tom James is widely recognised as a leading practitioner in the global natural resources market with over 30 years of commercial exposure gained through broad ranging senior regulated roles in financial institutions (including Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi UFJ, Credit Agricole and Credit Lyonnais) and various trading firms including BHP Billiton. Practical experience in trade finance, project finance, investment banking, supply chain/operations, derivatives, physical markets, and fund management. During his career he has operated in many countries in Africa, Europe, Middle East, and Asia Pacific. He has authored/edited over nine books in the energy & commodity trading and risk management field and served as Chair Professor and Adjunct Professor at various universities around the world including Korea, Singapore, India, U.K. and is a former member of the United Nations FAO Commodity Risk Management Advisory Group, and former Senior Energy Advisor to United States Department of Defence.
Why are we worried about the sp and the future? Let them do their work.
