ComTech created the CTRM Thought Leaders program to recognize individuals that have made significant contributions to the technologies and related processes that are a critical component to the commodities trading industries. The Thought Leaders will serve on a standing ComTech panel of CTRM experts and will provide insights on industry trends and other issues facing commodities companies.
