Dubai based broker GTN has announced that the company has hired Chris Gregory as CEO for Europe. Based in London, Chris will spearhead GTN’s strategic expansion across Europe from the company’s newly FCA licensed entity GTN Europe Financial Services Limited, as a key region in GTN’s global growth strategy.
Chris Gregory was most recently COO of SideCaps, a Germany based broker and central platform for block trading outside the order book on Xetra and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange. He previously served as CEO for FCA licensed institutional broker Squawker (closed in 2019), and was Global Head of SaaS Solutions at London based financial software company Fidessa.
Manjula Jayasinghe, GTN co-founder and Group CEO said,
“We are delighted to welcome Chris to the GTN team. His deep understanding of the European market and his passion for innovation will be invaluable as we continue to disrupt the traditional financial landscape. His track record of driving innovation and delivering results in the fintech space makes him the ideal leader for our European business.”
Under Chris’ leadership, GTN’s newly FCA authorised European business aims to offer local support and regional expertise tailored to European B2B and B2B2C clients, complementing the strengths of GTN’s other regulated entities in Asia, the Middle East and the Americas.
Expressing his excitement for his new role, Chris said,
“It’s a great time to join GTN as we set the stage for a new era of trading and investment solutions in Europe. I’m honoured to lead this expansion during such a transformative period for the financial services industry.
GTN has made a number of notable hires in 2024, mainly in the MENA region, including former Exness executive Damian Bunce who joined GTN as Middle East CEO. The company also added Zaid Aloul as CCO Middle East, and Saxo Bank alum Ahmad Abouardini as MENA Relationship Manager.
