A slew of new appointments at the ‎‎FX unit

The New York-based bank has recently bolstered ‎its foreign exchange business in Europe with the hire of Rob Malin and Dan Hart in London’s e-FX sales.

Malin joined FastMatch from Australia and New Zealand Banking Group, where he had been head of eFX sales for the EMEA region since March 2014. He led the build-out of ANZ’s ‎product for the region and has worked in eFX sales for nearly ten years. ‎Previously, Malin ran an eFX sales team out of Zurich for UBS.
