About
Born in 1954 in Bethpage, New York, Thomas Secunda earned bachelor's and master's degrees in mathematics from Binghamton University before starting his Wall Street career as a fixed-income trader at Morgan Stanley and systems researcher at Salomon Brothers. In 1982, he co-founded Innovative Market Systems (later Bloomberg L.P.) with Michael Bloomberg and others, now serving as vice chairman and global head of Financial Products and Services, overseeing 6,000 staff. He and his wife Cindy reside primarily in Croton-on-Hudson, New York, with philanthropic ties including board service for organizations like the National Parks Conservation Association. Their Miami connection stems from the Secunda Family Foundation, established in 2006, and Secunda's listing as an honorary board member of the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee (JDC) alongside Miami Beach affiliates.
