Market maker Virtu Financial has appointed John D. Nixon, the former group executive director for Americas at interdealer broker ICAP (US), to its board of directors effective immediately, officials say.
Nixon recently announced that he will retire from the ICAP board of directors March 31 of this year, a position he held since May 2008.
At ICAP, he served as a non-executive director of ICAP from 1998 to 2002 and was appointed an executive director in May 2008. He was appointed to ICAP’s Global Executive Management Group (GEMG) in 2003 with responsibility over business divisions and strategic acquisitions. He represented the ICAP Americas businesses to the board, served as chairman of the i-Swap business and has been responsible for the implementation of the ICAP swap execution facility (SEF). (GEMG consists of three executive directors of ICAP and seven members of senior management.)
Nixon has more than 30 years of international experience in the financial markets and has been responsible for business divisions and strategic acquisitions, officials says. Before ICAP, Nixon was at interdealer broker Tullett Prebon.
Virtu Financial provides quotations to buyers and sellers in more than 11,000 securities and other financial instruments on more than 225 unique exchanges, markets and liquidity pools in 34 countries around the world, officials say.
