EXCLUSIVE: OnePrime Hires Former Deutsche Bank Senior Executive Mark Glover as Financial Controller

Glover brings a wealth of expertise in auditing and hands-on FX product control.

OnePrime, a provider of CFD liquidity and custom technology solutions to the brokerage sector and part of the OneRoyal Group run by Royal Financial Trading Pty Ltd, announces the appointment of long-serving senior executive Mark Glover. This follows OneRoyal’s Katalina Pantea’s extension to OnePrime Head of Compliance in June 2025 and marks a strategic move as OnePrime expands its operations.

Joining the company as Financial Controller, Glover is an experienced and highly skilled financial professional with a deep understanding of the derivatives market. He started his career as an auditor at Deloitte in South Africa and held multiple senior and executive roles at various global financial institutions.

In the early 2000s, Glover’s career took a remarkable turn. After qualifying as a chrtered accountant, he moved to London, which was emerging as a main financial and fintech hub. The City offered Glover further growth at brokerage firms and other reputed financial institutions. It was only the beginning of an exciting journey that would take him overseas.

Asked to briefly describe that period, Glover said, “I did several contracts at banks and brokers and enjoyed the fast pace of the industry, with minimal knowledge of the financial products. I saw this industry as one that would constantly challenge me and offer limitless learning potential."

New opportunities then started to unfold. After completing his engagements in London, Glover moved to Melbourne, where he was offered senior roles at Rabobank and Deutsche Bank. Stretching over 10 years, both corporate tenures offered him “a great training ground” and hands-on expertise in product control, as he was “exposed to many financial instruments,” which required him to “understand the full end-to-end cycle of each product.”

As he pointed out himself, it was an enriching and enjoyable experience. Particularly, “the focus on daily reporting and working daily with people across finance, risk, and front office operations.” It was the perfect way to build “great relationships and learn a lot more than just accounting. However, there's nothing like an angry trader to accelerate your learning curve," Glover humorously reflects.

A decade in the big corporate environment opened his appetite for less conventional, smaller and arguably more agile fintech firms. This led him to pursue further growth as a Financial Controller with market players like Axitrader and Invast Global (rebranded to “26 Degrees”).

“However, there's nothing like an angry trader to accelerate your learning curve."

Working in an always-on FX environment like Axitrader can be both a strife and an enriching yet fun experience. From the position of the Financial Controller, Glover has candidly captured this serendipity, while also highlighting the importance of constant learning:

"I was lucky to work with some industry veterans at Axitrader and learnt so much about the derivative trading industry and AFSL compliance. Fintechs are nimble, and everything happens quickly, which comes with new challenges. What I enjoy most is being involved in all aspects of the business, instead of feeling like just a small cog in a massive machine."

Before joining OnePrime, Glover was Head of Finance at Thorn Group Limited, an Australian exchange-listed financial firm. Beyond ASX and APRA reporting and “endless audits,” he oversaw “a ledger implementation and a debtor financing system.”

All these experiences have equipped Glover with the know-how and expertise of an all-round financial professional. Seasoned in accounting, revenue and cost control, business reporting, analysis and FX product control, Glover is ready to start a new chapter at OnePrime:

"I'm excited to join OnePrime at this time. With so many promising initiatives in motion, I’m excited to work alongside a strong team to build a robust foundation that enables the company to scale effortlessly."

Welcoming Mark Glover to OnePrime, Jerry Khargi, Executive Director of OnePrime, commented:

“I am honoured to welcome Mark Glover to the team. He is a strategic addition to OnePrime’s Financial Control team as we seek to reinforce our position in the industry and regionally in Australia, where Mr. Glover is based.”
