Several leading institutional and retail venues found themselves with new faces this past week.
The past week was highlighted by several key moves across the FX and financial industry, with a number of exchanges, ECNs, and lenders shuffling their respective personnel groups. The string of hires at companies has not abated heading into H2 2016, as many familiar faces find themselves in new roles.
FastMatch brought in a second key sales veteran in as many weeks, this time appointing Soren Klausen as a Director of Sales in Europe. Mr. Klausen joined FastMatch with immediate effect, aiming to strengthen the group’s London operations with his presence. In his new role as a director of sales in Europe, he will be reporting directly to Paul Ainsworth, the group’s Global Head of Sales.
Jonathan Watras joined Bats' New York operations as its newest FX specialist last week, coming over from Currenex. In his new role as a Director of FX Sales at Bats, Mr. Watras will be based out of the group’s New York office. He joins the group after more than a decade in the FX space, having worked at a number of leading venues in the industry.
