With more than 20 years of executive management, technical and marketing experience in international markets, Buhannic founded TradingScreen with Joseph Ahearn on the premise of aiming to service both the buy and sell-sides as global markets became more electronic.

Buhannic was also responsible for creating and implementing CFSB’s e-commerce products including the “Prime Family” that includes PrimeTrade, PrimeClear, Prime Brokerage and PrimeFund; all of which have received industry accolades as a successful attempt at global distribution of electronic, multi-asset asset class transaction processing via the world wide web.

From 1993-1995 Buhannic served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Fimat Futures USA, Inc., the subsidiary of French investment bank Société Generale (SocGen), where he was credited with establishing Fimat as a viable and profitable player in the US marketplace. Prior to SocGen, Buhannic from 1987 to 1993 was the deputy Chief Financial Officer of Crédit Commercial de France, where he oversaw the global marketing of short-term FX and interest rate products.
