She was the Investor Relations person, before there was even a department, when they went public in Nov 2005. As the company grew, she and he added other people, she was sometimes listed on the slide deck or PDF that accompanied the conference calls. I spoke with him or listened to his calls, that usually ran more than an hour. I spoke to her possibly when CME offered to buy BOT (fall 2005), and she organized an event to introduce the company to the Chicago market; CME won, but they came back to later offer to buy EuroNext or NYSE Group and Archipelago. The theme was operating with better data and better technology. They might call it different on their website. See Clearing. When the New York and Chicago markets had Specialists and Open Outcry trading floors, they introduced electronic trading, and grew to dominate the Brent Crude market and eventually bought the New York Mercantile Exchange, getting them into Sugar, Cocoa, other commodities and currencies, I don't know if they traded Treasury instruments, which CME dominated. Eventually they also went electronic. It's probably on History at theice.com, if they keep it up to date. This week with the NYSE trading floor closed because of New York rules, the news showed that the NYSE is all-electronic. They are still based in Atlanta, as far as I know.
