Background

About David Leschied

I build and scale advanced electronic trading platforms for the Canadian equities ecosystem. My career spans both front-office and technology leadership, giving me a rare end-to-end view of how strategy, systems, and market structure intersect to drive performance. I specialize in algorithmic trading, smart-order routing, and the technologies that support institutional and retail execution. With deep expertise in Canadian market microstructure, I translate complex regulatory, liquidity, and routing dynamics into solutions that unlock revenue and deliver measurable client impact. Whether leading product strategy or serving as a hands-on subject-matter expert, I partner with sales, trading, and engineering teams to innovate, streamline, and improve execution outcomes. My focus: empowering both clients and internal trading desks with cutting-edge capabilities, while strengthening my organization’s position as a global leader in electronic trading and capital-markets innovation.
