Owen King’s Experience

Lead Commodities BA

MarkitSERV

(Privately Held; Information Technology and Services industry)

April 2008 — Present (1 year 8 months)

I lead the analysis and design for commodity products on the MarkitWire platform which provides electronic confirmation of OTC derivatives.

My experience covers oil, gas, power, metals, freight and agriculturals in both the financially and physically-settled markets.

My role involves working closely with our current and propsective clients and industry associations such as ISDA to understand their current and desired post-trade processes in order to design our platform to maximise value for them.

From running working groups to designing screens, industry messaging formats (FpML) and APIs to prioritising enhancements and development activity I have a solid record of delivery and a detailed knowledge of the post-trade environment.

Project Lead, Corporate Actions Messaging and Data Projects

I designed, specified and led Citi's "golden copy" corporate actions data projects involving both internal messaging (XML, XML Schema) and external vendor interfaces (e.g. SWIFT/ISO 15022).

I managed team members across several UK locations and supported a number of Citi's business units in both London and New York, requiring strong coordination and communication skills and careful scope management.
