Wemyss to head business development at Digital Vega
After a quarter century at JP Morgan, he joins the FX options e-trading platform
Foreign exchange options e-trading platform Digital Vega has appointed Rob Wemyss as a non-executive director and head of business development to support its ongoing product development and global expansion strategy.
Wemyss joins from JP Morgan, where he was global head of FX options. He worked at the bank for 25 years in a variety of roles.
“During 2020, we aim to cement our leading position in multi-dealer FX options trading by adding more liquidity providers and clients, increasing automation in our vanillas platform and launching a new exotics service,” says Mark Suter, executive chairman and co-founder of Digital Vega.
“We are delighted to welcome Rob to Digital Vega, where his unparalleled industry experience and senior-level contacts with liquidity providers and clients will help to maximise our growth,” he adds.
Over the past 12 months, Digital Vega has made several key hires, including Simon Nursey as head of Asia, Asa Attwell as head of product development, Romain Camus as head of exotic options, Laura Winkler as relationship manager for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Benny Lewis as head of interdealer solutions.
“Transparency, automation and workflow efficiency are driving the market increasingly towards trading FX options electronically. Digital Vega is already considered the market leader, and by investing in new products and services we expect to capture future market growth,” says Wemyss.
