OTA LEADERSHIP INDEX

Nelson Griggs

ARCHETYPE

The Architect

Structured and legacy-driven; builds the systems and institutions that last.

Griggs reveals himself as an Architect through his precise framing of Nasdaq's institutional role, not as a deal-maker but as the infrastructure layer enabling transparency, capacity, and market confidence. His parsing of the SK Hynix ADR mechanics, the US-Korea valuation interplay, and his deliberate pipeline-building across Europe and Asia reflect someone who designs systems and conditions for capital formation rather than chasing individual wins.

IN THEIR WORDS, WHY ARCHITECT

Our job is to buy the capacity, the technology you saw behind you, the human intelligence, and making sure that everyone knows what's happening with full transparency.

DEFINING NASDAQ'S STRUCTURAL ROLE

Being a public company in the US does show as you want to attract talent — having a US currency to do that is a big deal.

ON SK HYNIX'S STRATEGIC RATIONALE
