Maintaining a Sense of Urgency, Especially in Times of Uncertainty

Since its founding, DRW has brought together technology, research and risk management to compete at the highest level in markets around the world. Over the past two decades, technology has evolved at a rapid pace, creating significant opportunities for those who can respond and adjust quickly. That’s why acting with a sense of urgency always has been one of DRW’s core values, and a quality our teams live out each day. The recent challenges created by COVID-19 are unprecedented and unexpected. They have called on our teams to work together in new ways, to pivot quickly, and to boldly test new waters to ensure we can continue to actively and safely serve markets around the world. Below, members of different teams within DRW explain how they have benefitted from operating with a sense of urgency over the last couple of months.
