Our story
Established in 2012 in London, Fathom was founded to transform how capital markets work for the user.
In a world where software and SaaS products were improving rapidly, we saw the financial industry at danger of falling behind, with outdated legacy systems and frustrating interfaces causing huge inefficiencies.
We brought our unique expertise in user experience design to bear, transforming workflows, speeding-up processes, removing inefficiencies. Since those first days, we have become market leaders in making data useful for humans and their businesses.

Stu Jackson
Co-Founder
Stu has been crafting pioneering digital experiences since the Internet’s wild frontier days, cutting his teeth on early web and interactive TV offerings. He took his architectural precision and love of artful disruption into the financial markets in the late noughties, helping to transform Barclays’ digital retail offering, then leading the charge on the UX of HSBC’s Global Banking and Markets application suite.
Since co-founding Fathom, Stu has led the creation of transformational bond and FX trading applications, VAMs, future technology visions and ground-breaking mortgage servicing offerings. His sidearm with a 175g Ultimate UltraStar is a thing of beauty.
Mike DiTore
Managing Director
With close to 15 years of trading experience at Lehman Brothers, Citibank and Nomura, Mike brings a wealth of first-hand experience as the quintessential end-user.
Mike sensed Wall Street’s digital pivot and joined the market leader in fixed income electronic trading, Tradeweb Markets. Blown away by their relentless innovation and strong client focus, he eventually joined Stu and Grant in 2018 to help solidify and expand Fathom’s presence in the U.S.
