After Razorfish, he led two initiatives in the financial industry. The first at NYSE™ to upgrade the ILM (Issuer Lifecycle Management) platform, replacing a suite of systems supporting NYSE Corporate Actions and Issuer Oversight. After his work at NYSE, Wes joined American Express™ as a global technology leader to architect and lead a global re-platform of the online customer acquisition process spanning 21 credit card products for consumers and the OPEN for Small Business sectors.
