In detail:
Jay is a Director in Baringa’s Commodity and Energy Trading practice, working with CIOs and trading leaders across complex commodity and energy trading environments.
He joins from Castleton Commodities International (CCI) where he led the global technology team. Jay has 25+ years of experience leading digital, AI, data, and business transformation across commodities trading and risk management.
Jay is an expert in large-scale enterprise transformations, ETRM/CTRM, ERP, cloud strategy, and agile delivery, with deep experience across M&A strategy, due diligence, and post-deal integration. He has driven change as a technology and operations leader in a global commodity merchant, as a professional services advisor, and as a risk software firm product leader.
Jay believes success comes from bringing together the right team, executing with agility against a strategic plan aligned to the vision of committed sponsors, while maintaining a relentless focus on execution and accountability. Why does he believe this? Because it is how he has delivered results throughout his career.
Outside of work, Jay is an avid traveler who prefers a relaxing meal with the sights and sounds of the Caribbean Sea but equally enjoys a winter trip to Paris with his family. Running one marathon was enough and he now prefers low-impact indoor digital activity on the Peloton where he can compete against himself and the world, or a low-tech board game with his equally competitive kids. Jay competes to win, for himself, for his team, and for his clients.
