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 as Adam White, Founder and CEO of Digital Research & Trading, departs after 13 years of service.

“Joe Saluzzi has a deep understanding of the financial industry and the big issues that impact 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 broadly. He is an expert in equity market structure, as made clear in a book he co-authored entitled Broken Markets.  The book’s subtitle is equally important: How High Frequency Trading and Predatory Practices on Wall Street are Destroying Investor Confidence. We look forward to Joe helping Better Markets address the many issues that have created broken markets.”

“Better Markets has been a leader in consumer and investor protection for more than a decade,” said Joe Saluzzi. “I’ve long been impressed with their advocacy for sensible and long overdue market reforms. I look forward to supporting those efforts as a member of the Board,” Mr. Saluzzi said.

“Adam White served on the Board for 13 years and has provided invaluable expertise and leadership to Better Markets,” said Kelleher. “We are all in his debt and 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, safer financial system that protects and promotes Americans’ jobs, savings, retirements and more.”
