About Jeff Sprecher
Jeff Sprecher is the founder and CEO of global stock exchange operator Intercontinental Exchange, also known as ICE.
In 1997, Sprecher was working at a California power plant developer when he negotiated to buy a struggling Georgia company called Continental Power Exchange.
He had an idea to create a platform that would allow traders to buy and sell commodities online.
