Brian Baumann
Global Head of Technology Ecosystems, New York Stock Exchange
About Me
Ambitious, approachable, and driven by genuine connection, I serve as Global Head of Technology Ecosystems at the New York Stock Exchange building the relationships, communities, and trust that make the NYSE a natural home for the next generation of technology companies.
As the Founder of NYSE Wired, I believe the battle for technology IPOs is won years before anyone thinks about listing day. My style is simple: show up early, invest in people, and never stop building. No transactional playbook just authentic community, long before the opening bell.
What I Do
Ecosystem Architect: I’m building a grassroots technology ecosystem embedded inside the world’s most powerful financial institution, cultivating the founders, and elite leaders who will define the next decade of innovation
Community Builder: Forge an exceptional but inclusive network where today’s most ambitious innovators connect, collaborate, and find their path to the public markets through trust, not transactions.
Relationship-First Approach: I see tomorrow’s public companies not as pipeline, but as future partners and friends. Every conversation is authentic, unhurried, and anchored in what matters most to the people building the future.
Adventurous, Future-Focused: Whether it’s a media series, a poolside gathering, or a hackathon activation, I create environments as bold and imaginative as the entrepreneurs I serve.
My Ethos
Relaxed Leadership: Forget the rehearsed pitch and the formal introduction. The best relationships come from human moments that happen long before anyone needs anything.
Inclusive Excellence: This isn’t about exclusivity – it’s about building a community where exceptional minds support each other and shape the next era of innovation.
Love for People: True impact starts with putting relationships first. Champion people, embrace fresh ideas, help others shine and the rest follows.
