Jeff Graves’s Summary

For the better part of the last 10 years, I have "gotten my hands dirty" working with some of the world's most sophisticated and demanding institutional investors, to help them make the best use of the information that my company provides. I combine a keen interest in the evolution of technology with a working knowledge of the financial services industry and the ability to listen and work with both technical and business-focused staff.

Over a career spanning 18 years, I have continued to grow and expand not only my technical knowledge, but my understanding of how people interact with technology and how complex technology products evolve. I have gained invaluable experience as a technology consultant, as a manager of complex projects, as a product evangelist and as an advocate for the company.

Looking ahead, I plan to seek opportunities that will help me expand my understanding of how people use technology, and how evolving technology can improve the lives of those who use it.
