For several years, OCC has been working to completely transform our technology platform for market participants with an anticipated launch date later this year. Many teams have been involved in the process, and I’m excited to celebrate the collective success of Ovation. It’s a testament to how OCC leverages cutting-edge technology and employees are involved in complex projects that motivate people to reach their potential.

I recently stepped into leading our AI research and engineering function and our CIO explicitly empowered me to define the team’s vision and value proposition. This level of autonomy creates real ownership — you’re not just implementing someone else’s specifications, you’re architecting solutions.
