His wide range of responsibilities in the firm included overseeing corporate governance, regulatory, and operational performance, according to his Linkedin profile.

He also has years of experience working as a market maker as he started his career in that role for SG Warburg Securities followed by his seven-year-long term at HSBC Investment Bank in the same role.

GMI is on a Hiring Spree

GMI has ramped up it’s hiring process as last year the firm onboarded two senior members from FXCM – former head of FXCM Pro, Chris Hossain-Nelson and former head of IB Partnerships, Aaron Brown. Further, it partnered with Gold-i to make its multi-asset liquidity accessible via Gold-i’s Matrix product, as reported by Finance Magnates last month.

Earlier this month, Richard Bartlett, who was the sales director at GMI, separated from the firm after a short stint of four months.
