Order Hub allows clients to send and receive Limit, Benchmark, and Algo orders to and from other banks within the Barracuda network.

Kieran Fitzpatrick posted the following note this afternoon on social media:

After 13 enjoyable and rewarding years as CEO and co-founder of Barracuda FX, it’s time to move on.

It has been a privilege to work with such a brilliant team in Barracuda FX. I’m so proud of what we achieved together. The mistakes were mine, the successes theirs.

To those clients who placed their trust in Barracuda, a most sincere thank you.  I hope we repaid your confidence. Thank you also to the partners, mentors, friends and family who helped and supported me along the way.

After 30 years developing FX technology, I’m taking some time to recharge and consider some new opportunities. If you’d like to get in touch, my mobile/cell number remains the same and you can reach me here on LinkedIn.
