James, who boasts of over two decades of industry experience, announced his new role through LinkedIn on Monday. He left State Street last month.
Furthermore, James’ LinkedIn profile shows that he assumed the new position at AFTX UK in January. His new role comes after he spent almost eight years at Currenex, having joined in April 2015.
At Currenex, which provides high-performance FX trading solutions, James contributed towards ensuring that buy-side and sell-side clients get optimal liquidity by managing the demands from both regulatory and business standpoints.
On LinkedIn, he described his job at Currenex as “a client facing role which involves developing and maintaining relationships across the FX space with tier 1 banks, regional banks and non-bank participants alike.”
However, despite the focus on institutional clients in his last role, James has significant experience working in the retail industry. Before joining Currenex, he worked at ATFX UK’s rival company, Alpari UK, where he was a Senior Trader for over six and a half years. As part of his duties, James helped “to process clients’ transactions (FX, CFDs and spreadbetting) via MT4 platform and other white label solutions,'' among other responsibilities.
