DTCC has named Bridget E. O’Connor managing director and chief technology officer (CTO).
O’Connor will be responsible for overseeing the critical information technology infrastructure at DTCC, including core networking services, processing and messaging systems, distributed systems and business continuity. This infrastructure protects the certainty and reliability of DTCC post-trade processing capacity, which currently exceeds 850 million transactions in a single day, or nearly three times the highest peak volumes experienced by the more than 50 trading venues in the U.S.
O’Connor will report to William Aimetti, DTCC’s COO and president. She joined DTCC August 31.
“Bridget’s leadership in developing and maintaining high-quality infrastructure systems and business continuity programs on Wall Street is both well known and highly regarded,” says Aimetti.
Most recently, O’Connor had been chief information officer (CIO) and global head for business continuity for Lehman Brothers Holding, Inc., a position she had held since 2006.
