oneZero Hires Julián Gay

"I am very pleased to be joining such a successful company with proven technology, working alongside an experienced team who are pioneers in building superior technology solutions. I’m looking forward to delivering powerful and reliable solutions for institutional clients in EMEA," Gay said.

Gay is an experienced trading industry executive who spent his 18-year-long career working primarily for technology providers. Prior to joining oneZero, he was with smartTrade Technologies, stationed at the company's London offices as the Director of EMEA Sales. However, his most noticeable experience was with Integral Development Corp., where he spent more than 13 years. He joined the company as the Vice President of European Sales and separated as the Director of EMEA Sales.

However, he started his career outside the trading technology industry, working in the sales division of FXCM for four years, according to his Linkedin profile.

"We are delighted to welcome Julian to the team. His experience and business knowledge will be an asset to clients as they forego legacy solutions and move over to oneZero," Stuart Brock, Head of Institutional Sales at oneZero.

The appointment of Gay came at the same time the company hired Stephen Totten, the former Global Head of eFX at UniCredit, as its Director of Quantitative Analysis. Both these appointments show the company's priority in strengthening and expanding its businesses.
