Managing Director Jerry de Leeuw founded Mercurious in 2004, when the gas and electricity markets in the Netherlands were liberalized completely.After completing his study in Economics in 1995 he became a Market Maker on the trading-floor of the European Option Exchange (EOE) in Amsterdam. He was employed by Curvalue on EOE, Amsterdam Exchanges (AEX) and Euronext. In 1999 he established his own Market Maker company, which was licensed under the supervisory body AFM. This firm became a Member of Euronext Liffe, and had clearing-contracts with Fortis, KBC bank and Goldman Sachs.
Over the years, Jerry has traded by open out-cry on the floors of various exchanges and has a great deal of experience in screen-based trading. He has extensive experience in a variety of products, (amongst others) ranging from stocks, FX and commodities to futures, options and structured products.
With the Anglo-Dutch energy exchange APX-Endex Jerry was (on an interim-basis) responsible for the development of the continental gas markets in Belgium and The Netherlands (2007). In this role he visited the dealing rooms of their members throughout Europe.
Jerry delivers lectures at universities and high schools and was project manager for the development of a new oil index. This global price basket and its underlying scientific research paper was first presented the symposium Energy & Value, organized by Multinational Finance Society, in cooperation with Rijks Universiteit Groningen and Energy Delta Institute. In 2008 and 2009 Nyenrode Business University embraced the project and this meant that Jerry was connected to this university in that period.
As a writer, Jerry is columnist for several media, amongst which are European Energy Review and AMEinfo.com. He is also author of the books 'Milkshakes & Butterflies', 'Hit & Lift' and 'Energy problems & future perspective'.
