New York, NY, July 28, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Craig Schiffer, former Chief Executive Officer of the Americas at Dresdner Kleinwort and Head of U.S. Derivatives at Nomura International, and now with Sevara Partners, is featured Keynote Speaker at Golden Networking's Derivatives Leaders Forum 2010 DVD Video Package, "Strategies for Increasing Profits under an Evolving Regulatory Framework" (http://www.DerivativesLeadersForum.com), sponsored by UltraHighFrequencyTrading.com, now available online at http://www.DerivativesLeadersForum.com.

Just after President Barack Obama has signed the financial reform bill in Washington DC., Mr. Schiffer elaborates on "Assessing the Impact of Proposed Regulatory Changes on the Over-The-Counter" and provides a very comprehensive review of the most important changes that the new financial bill is bringing to the over-the-counters markets. The bill gives government regulators the authority to liquidate failing financial companies by breaking them apart, selling assets and forcing creditors and shareholders to take losses so that taxpayers do not pay the bill; the legislation also expands the Federal Reserve's regulatory powers, creates a powerful new consumer financial protection bureau and widens the scope of the Securities and Exchange Commission to broaden regulation of hedge funds and credit rating agencies, among other measures.

Mr. Schiffer has spent over 30 years in the investment banking business, in Europe, the United States and Asia, consistently building, fixing and restructuring businesses as well as leading them to strategic, structural and financial success. He was most recently Chief Executive Officer of the Americas at Dresdner Kleinwort, based in New York, having joined in London in 2001 as a Managing Director and Executive Committee member in the Global Debt business. Shortly after, he moved to the New York office to be Head of Capital Markets, North America, becoming Chief Executive in early 2003. Under his tenure, he successfully restructured the New York and Latin American businesses from a U.S. $300 million loss in 2002 to a net operating profit of almost U.S. $300 million (on a U.S. $600 million revenue base in 2006). Mr. Schiffer oversaw both the continuing businesses at Dresdner Kleinwort and the Institutional Restructuring Unit, Dresdner’s $9 billion “bad bank” in North America.

Prior to Dresdner Kleinwort, Mr. Schiffer headed Nomura International’s European Fixed Income Division, overseeing all of the capital markets and derivative businesses. At Nomura, he led the business to bottom line profitability for the first time ever in fiscal year 1999-2000. Mr. Schiffer joined Nomura in August 1997 where he was originally responsible for restructuring Nomura’s U.S. derivatives business, implementing robust risk management and achieving operating profitability. He then took on additional responsibility for Nomura’s proprietary businesses in Europe, which grew considerably under his tenure. He was a member of the European Management Board at Nomura International, responsible for strategy and the daily operations of the European businesses.
