Additionally, IG Group filled the position of Chief Operating Officer with the appointment of Jody Dunn in March. Dunn was promoted from her previous role as Chief Risk Officer. The London-listed broker subsequently elevated Sarah Gore Langton, previously the Chief Compliance Officer, to Chief Risk Officer.

The changes in the group’s top management occurred when Jon Noble resigned as Chief Operating Officer. Charlie Rozes also resigned as Chief Financial Officer, but the broker mentioned that it was searching for a replacement.
