Capital.com, a high-growth investment trading fintech group headquartered in London, announced the appointment of Joe Rundle as the company’s new Chief of Staff. Based in Cyprus, Rundle is expected to oversee Capital.com’s expansion into new markets and support the firm’s diversification strategy with better solutions and products. The company has created the new role to support its rapid growth.
Rundle has more than 20 years of professional work experience driving strategy and global growth operations for top brokerage companies. His track record would, therefore, help the fintech group to move forward. At Capital.com, Rundle would be responsible for supporting the company’s business growth in new markets such as in the US, boosting product development and innovation as well as developing the talent pool.
Prior to joining Capital.com, Rundle served as the CEO at a rival brokerage company, Markets.com. Before that, he worked at the Bank of America and also served senior leadership positions at ThinkMarkets and ETX Capital where he was part of the executive team responsible for repositioning the firm as a multi-asset broker.
Jonathan Squires, the Group Chief Executive Officer at Capital.com, commented: “Capital.com has not only been achieving but also sustaining triple-digit year-on-year growth for the last few years. Stellar growth has enabled us to expand our global footprint rapidly. With Joe’s knowledge and experience building compelling multi-asset platforms, we can confidently deliver best-in-class stock trading capabilities and drive strategic partnerships.”
Meanwhile, Rundle added: “I have been closely following Capital.com’s development and growth since the company was founded, and have always believed in its vision to lower the barriers to investing using cutting-edge technology, good pricing and education. This new role combines so many things that I'm passionate about: particularly people, innovation, growth-driven strategy and the financial markets."
How Capital.com Is Taking Its Company Global
The appointment comes when Capital.com Group is keen on expanding its global presence. In August last year, the London-based broker hired Laura Lin as the Chief Executive Officer of its Australia business. The company’s breakthrough and success in bringing better platforms and services to traders globally have been evident. In the recent past, Lin had an interview with Finance Magnates media outlets and disclosed that such commitment was what drew her to join Capital.com. The company’s focus on regional expansion can be also seen from its other recent hiring. In September, the firm recruited Chul Lim as the Asia CEO to strengthen its growth strategies across Asia.
Furthermore, in July last year, the company jumped into the commission-free bandwagon by launching a dedicated stock dealing account, called Capital.com Invest, for clients in the UK and Europe. The broker has plans to gradually launch wider products and services in Europe and other markets.
