On the back of the UAE Chapter’s Board members visiting and participating at the Global EO Leadership Conference, Washington DC, 23-26 April 2022, a few Board members also visited the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) on 29 April.
The visit, which was arranged by incoming Membership Co Chair, Madhavan Sivashankar, CEO & Founder of Gulf International Finance Limited (GIFL) through their US based business associates was truly enlightening.
The EO UAE team comprised of the Chapter’s incoming President Rishi Kohli, Strategic Alliances Chair Diana Geldenhuys, Accelerator Chair Roma Vora and Membership Co-Chair Madhavan Sivashankar.
The organizers introduced the NYSE to the visiting delegates and explained the history and significance of the Exchange. The visitors also had the opportunity to witness a live news telecast by Jim Cramer and Carl Quintanilla (both CNBC) of ‘Squawk on the Street’ fame during their visit. Further the EO UAE board members were allowed to applaud and participate during the opening bell for a new NYSE enlist. Last but not the least was to view live trading happening through the various brokerage offices @ the NYSE of global Financial Services Giants like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley etc.
The Board wishes to also thank Mr. Michael Gallucci and Mr. Paul Davis at the NYSE for rolling out the red-carpet welcome to the EO UAE team.
