Tracey Greene

Prior to being an executive level recruiter for the financial markets, Tracey started his Wall Street career working as a Developer, Linux Architect, Storage Architect, & Trading Systems Architect for firms such as:

  • Salomon-SmithBarney;
  • Citigroup;
  • Merrill Lynch;
  • Lehman Brothers;
  • Goldman Sachs;

As well as technology global leaders such as EMC and Storage Networks ( a leading Dot.com of the early 2000’s).

Having had enough of the technical aspects of the financial services world, Tracey decided to migrate his career into the world of IT Staffing. The Transition to executive recruiter was organic. He started this career path by partnering with the world’s leading Hedge Funds, Private Equity, Electronic Trading, and Proprietary Trading firms to fill their high level technology needs. Tracey’s time at the Ayers Group (a Top 5 staffing firm in the financial space prior to its Merger with Kelly Services ) helped to incubate him into the recruitment professional he is today.  Now as an Original Member of TechExec,  Tracey steer’s these same top tier firms in their need for hands on technical thought leaders.

Tracey is a professional that has lead top-performing teams and cultivated superior relationships. He thrives in environments demanding, strong personal accountability and leadership attributes…. I can’t say enough good things about Tracey, we have often debated issues but the outcome has always been positive. I have also seen Tracey at his best… as we shared some difficult times during 9/11, and Tracey kept his eye on what needed to be done.
