Why now
I'm currently building FreightTender — a closed-bid freight tendering platform for trading desks. It keeps me close to the operational reality of commodity procurement.
My primary interest is a senior technology leadership role inside a trading house where I can own the full architecture.
Let's talk
No formalities. If you're building or rebuilding technology for a commodity trading operation — I'm interested.
