Ms. Brown is an accomplished and visionary chief executive with a proven track record of driving revenue and income growth within complex global organizations. She presides over a unique business model, as Omgeo is a joint venture between an industry-owned and governed entity, The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC) and a commercial company, Thomson Reuters. This structure leads her to consider both industry and commercial interests when determining the firm’s objectives.

Ms. Brown leverages her experience in transforming service and technology businesses by accelerating their ability to execute on strategic plans and deliver new products to market. With a key focus on customer satisfaction and operational excellence, she has fostered a business culture that seeks to engage associates to work as a team in creating a world class organization.

Working collaboratively with Omgeo’s board of managers comprised of shareholders and industry participants, Ms. Brown is dedicated to ensuring the needs of the financial community guide the firm’s strategic business decisions.
