Stephen Alepa

Stephen is CEO of Olmstead Associates, a niche strategy, operations, and technology consultancy with a focus exclusively on the global securities industry.
He has over 25 years of experience as a management consultant and financial technology executive, helping global financial markets firms and solutions providers of all sizes define and achieve their business objectives.
He has held senior advisory positions at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), PwC, and Arthur Andersen, where he was the partner-in-charge of the New England financial markets business consulting practice.
Prior to Olmstead, Stephen held leadership positions at trading pioneers ITG and Macgregor.
He architected and ran the ITG Net business unit, the firm’s end-to-end electronic trading and trade processing network, building it to a community of over 750 buy-sides, sell-sides, custodians, and industry utilities.
Stephen led Macgregor’s Sales and Service, and oversaw the transformation of the firm’s financial profile by diversifying revenue, growing recurring revenues, and reducing costs dramatically.
A recurring theme through his professional experiences is the weaving together of strategy and execution, business and technology.
In his free time you can find Stephen enjoying time with his wife and 3 children around a baseball diamond or on a stand-up paddle board.
