Saphyre Founders Gabino and Stephen Roche Named to Seton Hall University's Entrepreneur Hall of Fame

Gabino Roche Jr. and Stephen Roche co-founded Saphyre in 2017, with a vision to simplify the complex and fragmented world of data and processes in the pre-trade space of finance. The company’s platform offers a revolutionary approach to data management, enabling firms to seamlessly communicate through automated workflows, and share “Ready-To-Trade” statuses in real-time. Their innovation has been adopted by some of the largest financial institutions in the industry, many of which have issued joint public press releases with the growing Fintech. Saphyre consistently has been recognized through the finance industry for its achievements.

The groundbreaking work of Gabino and Stephen has earned them recognition from the Seton Hall University Entrepreneur Hall of Fame Awards, which took place on March 29, 2023 on the Seton Hall University campus in South Orange, New Jersey. “We are excited to be honored for our work in the finance space,” said Gabino Roche, Jr. CEO and Founder of Saphyre. “While our innovative approach to pre-trade data management has been a game-changer, we extend the benefits by simplifying post-trade processes. We are proud to be recognized by Seton Hall and be part of their Hall of Fame.”

The Entrepreneur Hall of Fame Awards is an annual event that recognizes entrepreneurs who have made significant contributions to their respective fields. The event brings together industry leaders, alumni, and students to celebrate the spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation. The ceremony was a celebration of vision, passion, and hard work, which has helped make Saphyre a success.
