That's why Hotspot FXi, an electronic marketplace for institutional foreign currency trading, hired Curley as a director. "Jim is a guy who has been involved in the currency markets and the commodities marketplaces for decades," says John Eley, Hotspot FXi's CEO.
During a career that spans futures, securities and managed futures firms, Curley has been chairman and CEO of Cresvale International (U.S.); chairman and CEO of Republic Bank New York Securities Corporation; and executive vice president of Prudential Securities and E.F.
