Industry veteran leaves his role as Head of Research and Analysis
Andrew Saks, one of the most recognised names in the FX industry, has departed OvalX, formerly ETX Capital, Finance Magnates has exclusively learned.
A former editor at Finance Magnates, Leaprate, as well as the CEO and Founder of FinanceFeeds, Andrew leaves his role as the Head of Research and Analysis
Andrew Saks
at the London-headquartered OvalX after just a year having started in April 2021 following the sale of FinanceFeeds, which he founded in 2015.
At this stage, it is not known what is the next chapter for Andrew. A recently updated LinkedIn profile shows a 'TBA' under his profile name and a July 2022 end to his role at the financial services company founded in 1965.
When Finance Magnates approached Andrew for comment and to find out what is next for the industry veteran, Andrew was, unusually for him, quite coy on the subject, simply saying:
“It’s a very interesting time at the moment within the electronic trading industry, it has evolved massively even during the past few months. I have some interesting plans and look forward to continuing my enjoyable career in the Fintech business."
During his time at ETX Capital, Now OvalX, Andrew featured regularly in the mainstream media with a number of Television appearances, providing commentary on financial and economic affairs, and remains a popular speaker on the FX conference circuit.
Finance Magnates has reached out to OvalX for comment and will update when it arrives.
