“I knew JD Gershan when we both worked at Datek Online and later at Ameritrade where he was Chief Architect. In this role, JD helped build that firm into a leading online brokerage and he was a key reason for our success. JD very quickly impressed me with his extraordinary intellect. He never said anything that wasn’t helpful, insightful, profound and correct. There were quite a few truly brilliant people associated with Datek Online and JD was at least on par with anyone of them. Moreover, JD is a very nice person. In my experience, he was always kind, patient and respectful to everyone in our organization, at all levels, from the most junior to the most senior. I cannot recommend JD enough both as a FinTech professional as well as a human being. ”
