Billy Hult

Billy Hult is Chief Executive Officer of Tradeweb Markets (NASDAQ: TW) and a member of the Board.

A driving force in leveraging technology to eliminate silos and enhance transparency in financial markets, Hult has spent more than two decades shaping Tradeweb’s evolution from a single-product platform for U.S. Treasuries into a diversified, multi-asset marketplace spanning credit, swaps, mortgages, ETFs and government bonds across geographies. He recognized early the value of connectivity across client sectors, driving the launch of the company’s wholesale trading platform in 2009 and its corporate treasury offering in 2024.

Hult became CEO in 2023 after serving 15 years as President — a tenure that included playing a key role in Tradeweb's landmark IPO in 2019. As CEO, he has led Tradeweb through a period of substantial strategic expansion, broadening its product capabilities and geographic reach through the acquisitions of Yieldbroker, r8fin and ICD. Under his leadership, the company facilitated more than $2.6 trillion in average daily trading volume and generated over $2 billion in annual revenue in 2025.

An early champion of digital markets, Hult has made strategic investments and forged Tradeweb partnerships across blockchain, prediction markets, institutional crypto and digital assets. He has led the company’s deployment of artificial intelligence across execution, data, analytics and operations.

Hult joined Tradeweb in 2000 after beginning his career at Société Générale. He holds a B.A. from Denison University. A fifth-generation New Yorker, he serves on the boards of the Tenement Museum and the Bridgehampton Chamber Music Festival.
