While most kids enjoy getting lost in fiction stories, James Dale was more interested in reading about what was happening in the world of finance. “I’ve always been interested in numbers, math, economics, and the market in general,” he says. “I knew that was something I wanted to be a part of.”

Today, Dale is the Managing Director, Head of International Business Management at the electronic trading platform Tradeweb.

I’ve been able to grow and change with the company and that’s really important for me.
