John Finch was hopeless at Bank of England and probably the same at Refinitiv. They're better off without him.
I was laid off in last October's blood bath. It wasn't easy to find a job, because of the time of year. But as soon as that new year hit, I ended up getting a job fairly quickly, with an amazing company. I'd highly recommend that if you think you may be laid off in November, start looking for something now.
September and February are generally the best times of year to find a new gig.
Phil will be great in the role. From a technology hands on background and has steered the FX ship on a steady course over the years. Also saved Thomson Reuters messaging when it hit the rocks a few years ago.
Phil was always the guy behind the scenes. JF was detached from the day to day technology efforts and more focused with the rest of the leadership team, first on the sale to BS and then in the follow up to LSE. I don't think JF ever did much of anything as a "CTO" or "CIO" or whatever his title was.
