Market expert and investor advocate Joe Saluzzi joins the Board of Directors of Better Markets

Washington, D.C. – Better Markets is pleased to announce that Joe Saluzzi, partner and co-founder of Themis Trading LLC, has joined the Better Markets Board of Directors. Saluzzi joins the board while Adam White, founder and CEO of Digital Research & Trading, leaves after 13 years of service.

“Joe Saluzzi has a deep understanding of the financial industry and the major issues affecting both Wall Street and Main Street,” said Dennis Kelleher, co-founder, president and CEO of Better Markets. “Joe is a steadfast advocate for the interests of the buy-side and investors in general. He is an expert on the structure of stock markets, as evident in a book he co-authored called Broken Markets. Equally important is the book’s subtitle: How High-Frequency Trading and Predatory Practices on Wall Street Destroy Investor Confidence. We look forward to Joe helping Better Markets address the many issues that have led to broken markets.”

“Better Markets has been a leader in consumer and investor protection for more than a decade,” said Joe Saluzzi. “I have long been impressed by her commitment to meaningful and long-overdue market reforms. I look forward to supporting these efforts as a board member,” said Mr. Saluzzi.

“Adam White served on the board for 13 years and provided Better Markets with invaluable expertise and leadership,” said Kelleher. “We are all in his debt and are very grateful for his service. We wish Adam well and know he will continue to be an ally in our ongoing work to build a stronger and more secure financial system that protects and supports Americans’ jobs, savings, pensions and more.”
