Bio:
Wayne Abernathy began his career on a path that is rare among other IT executives. Having earned his Bachelor’s degree in Accounting from one of the nation’s top accounting schools, and armed with his CPA credential, Wayne's goal was to complement his natural technical savvy with a strong foundation in business and finance. The best way to do this, he felt, was to join a Big 8 firm within the auditing practice. Thus, in 1983 he accepted his first position with Xxxxx where he gained extensive public accounting experience and earned promotions to senior manager. On the partner track at Xxxxx, by 1993 Wayne found himself intrigued by the “world” of the investment bankers he interfaced with daily. Thus, when offered an IT position with Xxxxxxx within the high-yield bond trading group, Wayne jumped at the chance to apply his information technology, finance, and accounting skills to trading. Today, Wayne resides with his wife in Fairfax, VA. With three grown children.
