Chi-X Europe Limited named Mark Howarth Interim Chief Executive Officer. Peter Randall has recently left the firm to spend more time with his family. Randall will continue to serve in an advisory capacity.
Howarth for the past year has served as Chief Operating Officer for Asia-Pacific at Chi-X Global, Inc. Prior to joining Chi-X Global, Howarth served as Chief Executive Officer for Thomson Financial in Asia-Pacific and before that spent time in senior institutional equities positions in Europe, Japan, and Hong Kong at Merrill Lynch, UBS and Instinet.
Through its technology, market model and incredibly lean cost basis, Chi-X Europe has been able to not only survive amid great competition, but also thrive, says Howarth. I look forward to working with our team to continue to provide participants with the level of service and innovation that they have come to expect from Chi-X Europe.
For over three years, Peter has worked tirelessly to launch, grow and evangelise about Chi-X Europe. We thank him for his many contributions and wish him all the best in the future, says Tony Mackay, chairman of Chi-X Europe Limited.
