I was Kenny's manager during my time running a specialist post on the New York Stock Exchange. Kenny did an amazing job in an extremely difficult environment. Towards the end of my time there we became really understaffed and Kenny somehow managed to do what previously required a complete staff. In my time in the financial industry I learned to be very careful about who you trust and count on but Kenny remains one of the few people I trust and know that if I ask him to work on something it will be done and completed properly. As I have been setting my own business up I continue to hope that one day soon I will be able to hire Kenny for myself.

As Managing Director of Options at both G.H.M. and Bear Wagner my ability to focus on trading and value details was made in great part by having an assistant as hard working as Kenny Lau. Knowledgeable, conscientious, the count on go to man. After 911, when the AMEX moved to Philadelphia Stock Exchange, Kenny made this transition work. Helped put our team together from New York and led the way with the Philadelphia Tech Team to have us up and running like a well oiled engine in 24 hours. Kenny has always been tops and a pleasure to work with.
