KTQ Consulting Ltd is a specialist
consultancy on global infrastructure for trading,
clearing, payments, netting, settlement and collateralization in wholesale
financial markets. KTQC works with banks and technology suppliers
developing new technology solutions to ensure that they will achieve
objectives for participation, liquidity, risk management, regulatory
acceptance, technology transformation and other critical success factors.
Our principal consultant, Kathleen
Tyson-Quah, has been innovating and supporting financial infrastructure
using web-based technologies for more than 10 years. Prior to founding
KTQC, she worked for Cedel (now Clearstream), the Securities and Investments
Board (now the FSA) and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Our
consultants are all professionals with significant experience designing and
managing complex financial infrastructure projects.
The consultancy aims to make best use of

efficiently for cost-effective operations.
