EDWIN MARCIAL

As Chief Technology Officer I led the technology success of Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) as we grew from a six person start up to a 22 billion dollar market capitalization within 15 years. It was my technical vision and design of an Internet based commodity trading system that would evolve to become the ICE trading platform. I In 2005, ICE had one of the largest IPOs in Georgia history, and in 2013, ICE purchased the New York Stock Exchange to become the second largest operator of financial markets in the world. My greatest achievement however is the creation of arguably one of the most talented and effective technology teams in the country. This team of over 350 developers and technologists designed and built every mission critical system used to operate ICE markets, exchanges and clearing houses. The technology team has consistently innovated and executed to facilitate the rapid growth of ICE. ICE trading and clearing platforms are considered among the best in the financial markets industry. Today I use the experience I gained creating ICE to advise, invest in and build early stage software companies including SwatchPop, SnapNurse, and Rigor. I recently launched a new venture called Techrides. Techrides.io is a web video series that features technology leaders talking about entrepreneurship, leadership and technology all while riding in a cool car. You can watch at https://techrides.io In addition I teach disadvantaged young adults how to code so that they can get entry level software development jobs. I do this through a non profit organization called Year Up Atlanta. I also serve on the board of Year Up Atlanta.
