Diane Sherman is a market infrastructure executive focused on the evolution of tokenization, trading platforms, and collateral optimization across capital markets.
With over 20 years of experience in asset management, trading, risk management, and regulatory strategy, she brings deep expertise at the intersection of traditional financial markets and emerging digital infrastructure. Her work centers on how tokenized money market funds, real-world assets (RWA), and modern clearing systems can reshape liquidity, collateral mobility, and operational efficiency across exchanges and broker-dealers.
During her tenure as a Managing Director at Bank of America, Diane built and scaled a Collateral Management trading desk from the ground up. She conceptualized and implemented a centralized balance sheet program that ultimately generated 40–50% of F&O business revenue, driving capital efficiency while strengthening risk governance and compliance oversight.
Her background in futures markets and trading systems uniquely positions her to advise on the next phase of financial infrastructure development, particularly where SEC and CFTC regulatory frameworks intersect with tokenized asset innovation.
Diane is particularly interested in the modernization of market infrastructure, including exchange platforms such as NYSE, NASDAQ, and OTC markets, as well as clearing mechanisms and digital asset integration. She focuses on the practical execution required to move traditional financial processes on-chain while maintaining regulatory rigor.
She remains committed to mentoring emerging leaders, particularly women and minorities entering financial markets and fintech, and welcomes conversations on the future of tokenization, market structure, and capital efficiency.
