TP ICAP announced on Monday the appointment of Daniel Fields as the Chief Executive Officer of its Global Broking division. He will report directly to Nicolas Breteau, the Group CEO.

Fields is replacing Andrew Polydor in the role, who will return to focus on TP ICAP’s Energy & Commodities (E&C) business as the CEO.

In the new role, Fields will be responsible for pushing the growth in the business and delivering strategic execution. It will include the continued roll-out of TP ICAP’s innovative electronic platform, Fusion.

“The appointment of Dan as CEO of our Global Broking business is another important strategic hire for TP ICAP as we continue to build out the strength of our leadership team,” said Breteau.

“His extensive experience in capital markets and strong client relationships position him as the perfect candidate to drive the transformation of Global Broking.”

A Capital Markets Expert

Indeed, Fields brings 25 years of capital markets experience to his role. He joined TP ICAP from Altero Capital Partners where his role focused on strategic advisory and capital markets.

Previously, he was the Global Head of Markets at Société Générale, having left the company in 2016.

“TP ICAP’s Global Broking business is a world-renowned market leader, underpinned by a huge amount of expertise, trusted networks and innovative technology. I’m excited to take the reins at a time of major change, both within the wider markets and within TP ICAP,” Fields said in a statement.

“Already, the firm is making great progress advancing its strategy, for example, rolling out its electronic platform, Fusion, and I’m looking forward to working with such a talented team to continue to drive progress so that TP ICAP remains at the forefront of the industry.”
