Chris Old has started a new role as the Head of Organic
Growth at IG Group, according to an announcement he made on LinkedIn today
(Monday). Old, who is based in London, has been with the group for more than
six years in different positions.
Experienced SEO Executive
According to his LinkedIn profile, he joined the company in
2021 as SEO Manager for the UK. Subsequently, he rose through the ranks,
serving as the SEO Manager for EMEA and SEO Lead for IG.com before his latest
appointment. Old has also gained experience from stints with Truly Experiences
Ltd and Cancer Research UK.
IG Group has recently experienced notable executive moves. Last week, the group's Global Institutional Marketing Manager, Tomas Ausra, was named the Head of Marketing for IG Prime, the entity's institutional arm. Ausra, who has been the Global Institutional Marketing
Manager for almost five years, will spearhead IG Prime's brand marketing
activities worldwide.
Similarly, IG Group appointed Mark Evans as the
Head of Corporate Development in April, Finance Magnates reported. Evans served
as the Head of Consumer Insights and Strategy at the firm for over six years.
Prior to this, he was the Financial Planning and Analysis Manager at the Group.
Evans has worked for well-known industry brands such
as Barclays Bank and BDO UK LLP. At Barclays, he was the Manager for Group
Centre Finance before joining Barclaycard as the Vice President in 2012. He
also dedicated four years to the role of Senior Business Adviser at BDO UK.
Other Changes at IG Group
Additionally, IG Group filled the position of Chief
Operating Officer with the appointment of Jody Dunn in March. Dunn was promoted
from her previous role as Chief Risk Officer. The London-listed broker
subsequently elevated Sarah Gore Langton, previously the Chief Compliance
Officer, as Chief Risk Officer.
The changes in the group’s top management occurred when Jon
Noble resigned as Chief Operating Officer. Charlie Rozes also resigned as Chief Financial Officer, but the broker mentioned
that it was searching for a replacement.
