As the recipient of The TRADE Legacy Award, Tony Shaw has been recognised as an individual who has gone above and beyond throughout his career, leaving a lasting legacy.
Shaw received his award at Leaders in Trading 2025 on Thursday, recognising the importance of the people side of the financial markets industry, and shared valuable advice to those in attendance.
As executive director at SIX Swiss Exchange, Shaw oversaw the London office – managing member sales and relationships, developing new products and services, and promoting the exchange within the UK market.
Prior to joining SIX, Shaw spent 13 years at HSBC as business manager in equity trading, where he was responsible for operational oversight and business development across equity trading functions.
His earlier career also included nine years in equity product control at Smith New Court and Merrill Lynch, providing a strong foundation in the operational and regulatory aspects of the financial markets.
Shaw’s career reflects sustained leadership across multiple facets of equities and exchange operations, combining hands-on market experience with strategic oversight.
His work at SIX has contributed to the exchange’s growth and deepened its engagement with UK market participants, and his expertise in equity trading and product development remains widely respected.
Shaw’s extensive expertise and commitment have earned him well-deserved respect across the industry. His lasting impact, significant influence within his organisation, and commitment to advancing and future-proofing the markets for years to come have rightly earned him this recognition.
The TRADE would like to extend its congratulations to Shaw for his established legacy across the industry.
