Welcome to PEAK6 Investments

Diversity and inclusion are in the bloodstream of PEAK6 investments. Its DEI council and employee resource groups take the lead to create initiatives, foster bonds and run trainings, while the company at large acts as a catalyst for change in the community and the industry. “In leading Fintech In Action, I have seen first-hand that PEAK6 is committed to changing the landscape of finance,” said Michelle Williams, the coalition’s executive director. “The work FIA does is supported by a larger culture of change agents and cheerleaders that have only empowered this initiative to grow.”

Bridging the Divide

Advancing Visibility and Fostering Dialogue

“Having a diverse team allows for healthy dialogue,” Saechao told Built In. “Our different backgrounds and life experiences result in a wide range of strengths, weaknesses, skills and abilities.” Celebrating diversity through employee resource groups, such as PEAK6 Asian Community Engagement, advances visibility for underrepresented groups across PEAK6’s Chicago headquarters and office locations — while also offering opportunities for leadership development and growth for ERG leaders like Saechao. “Leading our ERG events provides a safe space and time to build connections with our peers,” she said.

A diverse team leads to better outcomes by introducing new perspectives and ideas, increasing creativity and empowering innovation.

Building Culture

A Team in Perpetual Motion

Milt Castro

Associate General Counsel, Labor & Employment

There’s never a dull moment in PEAK6’s office. From the annual “biggest spectacle of a work party” — which last year featured a Bruno Mars concert — to Castro’s own tradition of bringing homemade cookies to the office once a week, PEAK6’s culture is full of moments large and small that help create a sense of community across the team. That encouragement to celebrate and innovate reflects the company’s opportunities to grow. “There really are plenty of ways to have an impact on culture and make the PEAK6 workplace the kind that you want,” he said. “We are perpetually in motion.”

This is a community of innovative people who regularly come up with new ideas — and then improve, refine and activate them.

Industry Innovation

Delivering Excellence Daily

As the leader of PEAK6 Technology Advisory Group, Cummings is focused on making sure the company’s IT investments allow the enterprise to make sound decisions. “We ensure that our services are aimed at increasing functionality and value instead of just fixing problems,” Cummings told Built In. “This means each and every day is dynamic.” Cummings’ diverse team of designers, developers, analysts and security professionals drives the vision for a strong IT foundation through sound practices and repeatable controls. “We provide insight with data to move the business forward,” he said.
