Episode 479: Citadel Securities President Jim Esposito on Market Making & the Future of Finance

Financial markets have transformed dramatically, shifting from noisy trading floors to lightning-fast, technologically-driven platforms. At the March 2024 FIA conference, Citadel founder Ken Griffin discussed company growth in an episode of Inside the ICE House. Following that, Citadel Securities appointed Jim Esposito—former Goldman Sachs executive with nearly 30 years of experience—as its new President. Nearing a year into his tenure with Citadel Securities, Jim goes Inside the ICE House to discuss what differentiates the firm, it's role in helping maintain efficient and orderly markets, and how he, CEO Peng Zhao and Founder Ken Griffin are plotting its future.

Inside the ICE House, a podcast produced by Intercontinental Exchange, takes listeners behind the historic façade of the New York Stock Exchange and inside the global financial marketplace. The episodes, recorded in the Library of the NYSE, features conversations with leaders, entrepreneurs and visionaries who walk through our doors with a dream of building businesses and changing the world. Their stories have made the NYSE, now part of ICE’s ecosystem of markets, clearing houses, data provider, and listings services, an indispensable institution for over 225 years.
