Co-founder & CEO
A vision brought to life
Skye Hauptman and Patricia Horotan revolutionized the industry when they founded BlueMatrix in 1999. The internet was in its infancy; websites were few and far between; and research publishing was a tedious, manual, risky process.
The team recognized the web for what it would become—a centralized location for the processing and exchange of information—and how it could be applied to change the way investment research professionals publish insights. Their vision: create the industry standard for research publishing.
Now, 20 years later, with the duo still at the helm, the company has grown into the gold standard and leading technology ecosystem for the investment research space. We connect the world’s leading asset and wealth managers with nearly 1,000 research firms in more than 50 countries, in addition to serving internal teams across multi-national corporations.
Prior to founding BlueMatrix, Skye and Patricia worked in technology development positions at CIBC, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Millennium Partners and UBS. Skye is based in London, overseeing BlueMatrix’s European operations. Patricia is based in New York, overseeing US and global operations.
