Christopher Hayes serves as Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Director of Market Technology Acquisition Corp. (Nasdaq: MTAKU/MTAK/MTAKW), a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in the Cayman Islands that closed its $205 million initial public offering on July 24, 2026, with BTIG, LLC serving as sole book-running manager. The SPAC, which priced 20,500,000 units at $10.00 per share (including 500,000 units from a partial exercise of the underwriters' over-allotment option), targets businesses operating in the global capital markets ecosystem, including licensed U.S. equities and options clearing businesses, market infrastructure, post-trade, brokerage, custody, execution, and financial technology platforms. Hayes anchors the management team alongside CEO Jonathan Slone, supported by a board of independent directors comprising Gary Greenberg, Steve Sun, and Raymond Tam. For his services, Hayes receives an indirect interest in 35,000 founder shares through membership interests in the company's sponsor.
Prior to joining Market Technology Acquisition Corp., Hayes was a Managing Director and Head of Strategic Transformation at Wedbush Securities, bringing more than thirty years of experience in the financial services industry to the SPAC. His deep background in capital markets infrastructure and securities brokerage operations aligns directly with the SPAC's stated focus on identifying and acquiring businesses within the global capital markets ecosystem. The SPAC launched in November 2023 and filed for its IPO targeting U.S. equities and options clearing businesses, with the SEC declaring its registration statement effective on July 23, 2026. Each unit consists of one Class A ordinary share and one-half of one redeemable warrant, with each whole warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A ordinary share at $11.50 per share. No specific details regarding Hayes's educational background or earlier career history beyond his tenure at Wedbush Securities were identified in the available sources.
This record is keyed to SEC CIK 0002143453 — the identifier this person files under in their own name. Every vehicle above is a filing made under that CIK, so “the same person on two shells” is a fact about an SEC identifier rather than about a name that happens to match.
Roles are the strings the filings used, in the order they were filed. Nothing on this page ranks them, infers seniority, or offers a reason why any two of these names recur — a recurrence is a count, and the filings that produced it are linked beside every row. We also hold 2 institutional-holder rows on these vehicles, under 2 distinct name strings, and none of them is counted across vehicles: that table has no CIK column, and matching holders by name would merge firms that are not the same firm.
