This week witnessed several significant executive changes within the financial services industry.
Paresh Patel has joined ATFX as the Global Head of Risk and Trading, following an impressive tenure at FXCM where he played a crucial role in managing trading operations for over fifteen years. This move signifies ATFX’s ongoing efforts to enhance its leadership team and expand its global presence. In light of the company’s recent expansion strategy, ATFX has also welcomed John Bogue as the Director of Institutional Operations, who brings three decades of experience in trading and e-brokerage to the firm.
In another notable departure, IG Group’s Head of Brand and Product Marketing, Leigh-Anne Acquisto, has left the company after contributing nearly three and a half years. Acquisto started her journey with IG in 2021, initially taking on the role of Global Brand Manager before elevating to Head of Brand Expression and Activation. Her expertise in brand management, particularly in her former role as Chairperson of Brand Council South Africa, has been crucial to IG Group’s brand strategies.
Additionally, Trive South Africa has appointed Jimmy Moyaha as its Non-Executive Director. Moyaha is recognized as a veteran in the financial field, serving as the Founder and Managing Director of Lebowa Capital. He brings valuable experience and knowledge, having established himself in the industry through significant regulatory and strategic roles. Notably, he also runs the Lotus Academy, which provides online education on financial instruments, further enhancing the industry’s knowledge base.
In a significant shift within CMC Markets, Chief Financial Officer Albert Soleiman is stepping down, effective immediately. The company acknowledged Soleiman’s contributions over his lengthy affiliation and expressed appreciation for his service. His departure will undoubtedly prompt changes in the company’s financial stewardship as CMC Markets navigates its future direction.
These executive changes highlight the dynamic nature of leadership within financial organizations, reflecting both stability and the need for adaptation in a rapidly evolving market landscape.
