A prominent online brokerage firm, IG Group, has recently appointed a new Chief Executive Officer for its North American operations, with the decision taking effect from October 1, 2025. This individual is recognized for extensive experience in the technology and financial sectors, particularly in scaling fintech businesses, which is expected to enhance IG’s strategic objectives in the region.
With over thirty years of professional experience, the new CEO has a rich background that includes significant roles in operational, advisory, and investment capacities, making his expertise an asset as the firm aims to expand its customer base and market share in North America.
Before taking on this new role, he was a Co-Founder and General Partner at a venture capital firm, focusing on fintech investments during the early stages of development. This role was preceded by his tenure as a Venture Partner at a well-respected VC firm that specializes in healthcare and fintech. Notably, he also served as the Chief Operating Officer of a well-known peer-to-peer payment service for eight years, which later became part of a major payment platform.
IG Group’s focus on strengthening its presence in North America intensified with the acquisition of an online broker in 2021. The new CEO’s appointment is anticipated to further bolster these expansion efforts and assist in executing the company’s strategic vision for growth in the competitive North American fintech landscape. The firm is looking to benefit from his entrepreneurial spirit and his proven track record in growing businesses within the technology sector.
