IG Group Holdings plc, a leading electronic trading company, has announced that Charlie Rozes, the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), will be stepping down from his role to pursue other opportunities. Rozes, who has been instrumental in the company's financial management, will continue as CFO and Executive Director until July 31st to facilitate a seamless transition. The process to identify his successor is already underway, with further updates expected in due course.
Rozes, appointed as CFO in June 2020, boasts a distinguished career marked by expertise in financial control, reporting, accounting, tax, M&A, investor relations, risk and compliance, and audit. His extensive experience includes executive director roles in the financial services sector, where he spearheaded significant change programs both in the U.K. and internationally.
Having commenced his professional journey at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, Rozes ascended to Partner status in 2001 within the U.S. management consulting practice. He later held senior executive positions at IBM and Bank of America before joining Barclays plc in 2007 as Chief Financial Officer of Barclays U.K. Retail and Business Bank. He also served as Global Head of Investor Relations at Barclays from 2011 to 2015 and as Group Finance Director at Jardine Lloyd Thompson plc from 2015 to 2019.
Rozes' academic background includes an undergraduate degree from Tufts University and an MBA from Southern Methodist University.
In addition to his departure, Jon Noble, the Chief Operating Officer (COO), will also be leaving his role as Executive Director, effective immediately. Noble, who has been with IG since 2000 and served on the Board since 2018, will remain with the company briefly to ensure a smooth transition.
Commenting on the departures, Mike McTighe, Chairman of IG Group Holdings plc, expressed gratitude to Rozes and Noble for their service on the Board and as part of the executive management team. He commended Rozes for his outstanding contribution to the company's growth as CFO and Acting CEO, and Noble for his long-standing service and pivotal role in positioning IG as a global market leader.
Breon Corcoran, CEO of IG Group, acknowledged Rozes and Noble's significant contributions to the company's success and wished them well in their future endeavors. Rozes, in turn, expressed appreciation for his colleagues and the Board, emphasizing the successful execution of the company's strategy under his tenure.
Noble, reflecting on his time at IG, described it as a privilege and expressed confidence in the company's strength and promising future. He extended his best wishes to Corcoran and the Board for the years ahead.
As IG Group undergoes these leadership transitions, stakeholders anticipate continued stability and growth under new leadership, building upon the foundation laid by Rozes and Noble.
