IG Group has appointed Mark Evans as Chief Corporate Development Officer, who has been serving as Consumer Insight and Strategy Director at this London-based foreign exchange and contract for difference trading company for over six years. Previously, he held the position of Manager of Financial Planning and Analysis within the group.

Career spans renowned brands

According to his LinkedIn profile, Evans has worked for renowned brands such as Barclays Bank and BDO UK LLP. At Barclays, this London Business School alumnus served as Group Center Finance Manager before joining Barclays Capital as Vice President in 2012. At BDO UK, he served as Senior Business Advisor for four years.

Last month, IG Group announced significant changes to its senior management, appointing Jodie Dunn as Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Sarah Gore-Langton as Chief Risk Officer (CRO). Dunn's appointment as COO marks the pinnacle of her 21-year tenure at IG Group, during which she steadily rose since joining in 2002 as a sales trader.

Langton's promotion to CRO comes in recognition of her significant contributions since joining IG Group in 2015. Prior to this, she served as Chief Compliance Officer, bringing with her extensive experience from her tenure at BlackRock.

Charlie Rozes, Chief Financial Officer of IG Group, and Jon Noble, Chief Operating Officer, resigned from their positions in March. Their departures coincided with the release of IG's financial performance report for the third quarter of the 2024 fiscal year, which highlighted stable revenue.

Changes in IG Group's leadership

Rozes joined IG in 2020 and played a crucial role as interim CEO during a critical transition period while serving as CFO. On the other hand, Noble held key positions at IG for a long time, joining the company's board of directors in 2018 and the company itself in 2020. Their resignations coincided with the appointment of Brendan Cocoran as CEO earlier this year.

In his resignation comments, Cocoran acknowledged the significant contributions Rozes and Noble made to IG's growth and development, wishing them success in their future endeavors. These departures add to a series of recent resignations at IG, some of which are part of the company's personnel reduction strategy.

According to IG Group's financial report for the third quarter of the 2024 fiscal year, the group's total revenue was £240.1 million. Although this marks a 4.5% increase in quarterly revenue compared to the previous quarter, it is almost identical to the same period in the previous fiscal year.
