Ex-EBS veteran David Faulkner has joined foreign exchange start-up R5FX as head of open market, following a brief stint at technology vendor Integral Development. Based in London, Faulkner reports to Jon Vollemaere, chief executive of R5FX.
In his previous role at Integral, Faulkner was global segment head for banks, reporting to Jon Barker, head of global sales. He joined Integral in May but left only a few months later.

R5FX, which is developing an interbank liquidity pool for electronic trading of non-deliverable forwards and emerging markets FX, has made a number of hires to strengthen its team over the past year. As well as Faulkner, Stuart Crooks, Ed Nelson and Anne Pounds have joined the firm.
Crooks, formerly head of electronic commerce sales for fixed income, currencies and commodities in Europe, the Middle East and Africa at Royal Bank of Scotland, has also worked at UBS and technology vendor FlexTrade Systems. He is now head of liquidity at R5FX.
Nelson has extensive experience at Thomson Reuters, having worked at the firm between 1983 and 2011, most recently as global head of business operations for FX and money markets under Jas Singh, former global head of treasury. Nelson joined R5FX as head of operations.
Lastly, Pounds has joined R5FX in a market strategy role. She has experience at Commerzbank, CQG, Cognotec, Eurobase, Thomson Reuters, Icap, Bank of America and Citi.
Pounds, Crooks and Nelson all report to Vollemaere. R5FX is expected to launch some time in 2014.
