TEST OF TIME

摘要

Sometimes the next big thing isn't new at all. That's precisely how Saro Jahani, the new CIO of the Direct Edge stock exchange, views stability and latency: The two fundamental pillars of IT performance are the coming wave on Wall Street, he indicates. Indeed, prior to joining Jersey City, N.J.-based Direct Edge, the Swedish-born Jahani, who is of Armenian descent, proclaimed during a Wall Street & Technology conference in 2009 that he wouldn't be surprised "if the newest title on the Street was chief latency officer." Having reflected on his comments for a few years, however, Jahani now suggests that "chief stability and latency officer" comes closer to the mark.
