Colin Howard

At 64 Colin Howard is close to retiring from a lifetime of serial innovation in markets and other matters, leaving his able young team in India and the Caribbean to take the “micro exchange” concept forward. Since most of his past achievements world wide are aspects of modern business that are now taken for granted, then to dwell on them here would simply be boring. However, he sees great growth in physical commodity trading electronically, and believes that all small economies are entitled to an “exchange”, even if it is substantively “illiquid”, and is always happy to provide the ‘answers’ to the ‘objections’ that have been constant obstacles to progress at every stage in his career. He claims never to have been wrong in any of his predictions, and defines 99.9% of so called “objections” as being a simple resistance to change from people who do not have the power to alter their structure anyway, so you will find him either fun or intensely annoying. If the latter, do not worry, he would rather be on his boat anyway!
