Team LCMCommodities was founded by seasoned commodities traders, seeking to re-think brokerage as an added-value complement to high-level trading. The Company is a joint venture with LCM Interest Holding, a holding company that operates fully independent introducing brokers and financial services providers based in New York, London, Hong Kong and Paris. Pierre Lacaze, CEO Pierre has two decades of experience trading softs (Phibro, CT), metals and energy (Compagnie Parisienne de Réescompte), crude oil and product options (Credit Lyonnais Rouse) and energy derivatives (Hess Energy Trading Company). He's a nice fellow, as long as you don't get him started on sailing and team spirit. Gael Gremaud, Head of Crude and Products, Partner Gael began his career by launching the first commodities fund at Rothschild & Cie in Paris. Since joining LCMC, he has been instrumental in developing the company's oil business. He is a graduate of the University of Paris II (Pantheon-Assas), with a Masters in Finance. Antoine Roy, Head of Natural Gas, Partner After leading experiences in asset management at Natixis and Allianz Global Investors, Antoine invested and developed a French alternative energy company in France for two years -- prior to joining LCMC, and setting our NG business ablaze. Antoine has a knack for teaching. A graduate in Finance and Maths of University of Paris Dauphine, he still runs there a course about Hedge Funds. Ekrem Esmen, Head of Commodities Research, Partner Ekrem has coined the term “guerrilla research” and, along with his team, implemented a unique approach to analysis that allows LCMC Research retain an edge on commodity market dynamics. Prior to joining LCMC, he was a director at PIRA Energy Group and a visiting engineer at MIT. Simon Butler, LCM Metals, CEO Simon runs the Sales and Trade Strategy across LCM Metals. He's also a lead broker in both base and precious metals. He began his career in exotic options at UBS before moving into commodities in 2004. Simon has over a decade of commodity sales experience across Energy products (UBS, BNP Paribas) and Metals (Bank of America Merrill Lynch). Brad Flaster, CFO, Partner For over 18 years Brad has made a career out of running the operations of successful brokerage firms in the commodity derivative space. Now with LCMC, he has his hands in every aspect of the business to help ensure its continued rise. Prior to joining LCMC, Brad was a VP at Parity Energy, a start-up venture with a bent on modernizing the OTC energy option space, and before that the Head of US Operations at Tradition Financial Services. Holly Calcagno, Crude Derivatives, Partner A former Division 1 college athlete, Holly hit into finance territory with the competiveness and ethics she'd honed on softball home plates. She worked for the brokerage firm Tullett Prebon, and was a sales executive at the Intercontinental Exchange. Now a partner at LCMC, she is advancing our Crude derivatives team to more bases, expanding the company’s presence into markets out of our New York City office. Holly's a great sport, and not the kind of hitter to help a pitcher out. Wanted! Dudes. Gals. Nerds. Dropouts. DIYers. Pressure addicts. Fast learners.
