New
York, NY The
Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("NASDAQ"; OTCBB: NDAQ), today
announced management changes in its Transactions Services unit.
Glen Wolyner, executive vice president, will be leaving the firm
to pursue other business opportunities. Chris Concannon, executive
vice president, head of strategy, has been appointed head of NASDAQ
Transactions Services. Adena Friedman, executive vice president,
NASDAQ Data Services, will assume additional responsibility as head
of corporate strategy.
During
Mr. Wolyner's tenure, NASDAQ Transaction Services (NTS) achieved
a number of key strategic initiatives, including broadening access
to NASDAQ's trading platform through FIX, implementing fully anonymous
trading in SuperMontage, restructuring NTS and expanding the NTS
sales team.
"Glen
has provided leadership to NASDAQ Transactions through a critical
phase and we are grateful for his many important contributions.
Upon his arrival, he outlined a range of goals for NTS and was able
to achieve them in a short period of time. We are also pleased to
be able to expand Chris Concannon's role in Transaction Services
given his deep knowledge of market structure and regulation,"
said Bob Greifeld, president and chief executive officer of The
NASDAQ Stock Market. "Chris will play a pivotal role as we
evolve and improve our marketplace for investors."
Greifeld
continued, "Adena Friedman will continue to oversee NASDAQ
Data Services while taking on broader responsibilities in corporate
strategy. Adena has played an ongoing role in corporate strategy
across a number of business lines during her 10 years at NASDAQ
and we look forward to her continued leadership."
