Tim Lang, the CEO and Founder of Global Liquidity Partners, is an equity trading professional with over 40 years of Wall Street experience. Tim’s vision of GLP in 2010 was driven by his belief that there was a technology void in the equity marketplace due to all of the emerging fragmentation of trading venues. His goal was to create a best-in-class, performance-driven equity execution services platform. His role at GLP is all-inclusive as he remains active in strategy design, marketing, client relationship management and staffing.
Over Tim’s career he has traded equity and other asset classes, managed trading desks and served on management committees at Merrill Lynch, Spear Leeds, National Discount Brokers and Swiss American Securities. His interest in technology, insight into the potential of electronic trading and entrepreneurial spirit motivated his founding of Phoenix Third Market. He was an early advocate of NMS committees and served on many through those early years.
