Fred Federspiel is the President and founder of Pipeline Trading Systems, a rapidly growing independent and anonymous large block trading venue. Fred earned a PhD in Experimental Nuclear and Particle Physics from the University of Illinois at Champaign/Urbana, and then worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory as a nuclear physicist. Fred became very interested in understanding how market structure impacts the ability to efficiently trade large orders while working at the Bios Group, a complexity science consulting firm founded by Ernst & Young. This interest culminated in the founding of Pipeline in 1999, and ultimately in the launch of the Pipeline block trading platform on September 9th, 2004. |
