Dholani is responsible for business development globally, as THETA moves from beta towards launching its trading system for the buy-side, Apollo, in the first quarter of 2021. The platform will provide multi-channel liquidity aggregation and trading, initially for Fixed Income, by integrating with clients’ existing P/OMS systems via FIX and REST APIs. FX and Equities trading will be added later in the year 2021.

Abdullah Hiyatt, THETA Founder & CEO, said, "Engaging with niche and leading asset managers, equivalent to $5 trillion AUM, we have built the next generation cloud native SaaS multi-asset trading platform, which plugs the gap between current EMS capabilities and the evolving new trading landscape demanded by traders and regulators. Neena’s experience in fixed income and technology sales to the buy-side will be key to our progress, as will her extensive industry relationships."

Neena Dholani commented, "I have followed THETA’s progress throughout the development of Apollo and am excited to be joining as we progress towards launch. Driven by regulation and cost constraints, buy-side firms have been forced to adopt electronic trading and THETA provides an ideal technology platform to automate these trading workflows."
