In an official announcement on 26 September 2022, The Trading Pit, a financial trading firm, confirmed that the company has appointed Thomas Heyden, an industry veteran with approximately two decades of experience in the financial sector, as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of its Liechtenstein Headquarters.
Heyden has deep expertise in highly regulated financial markets around the world. He previously managed HS Financials, a private asset management firm, for more than 15 years. Through the appointment of Heyden, the Trading Pit is planning to expand its presence.
The latest announcement from The Trading Pit came a few weeks after the company selected Themis Christou, the former Interim CMO at Tickmill, as its new Chief Marketing Officer.
"I am very eager to join the leadership team of TTP. Coming from the asset management and trading industry, I understand how difficult it is to get to the highest ranks in the prop trading industry. Even if you're a talented trader, rarely will you have access to distribution networks to raise capital and in most cases, you are competing with big investment houses. Talented traders, in many cases, do not have access to sophisticated trading technology, or to a wide selection of asset classes. At The Trading Pit we cover all these needs and I'm confident we are just at the beginning of an exciting growth story,” Heyden commented.
Christoph Radecker
In his new role, Heyden will work closely with Christoph Radecker, The Trading Pit’s Co-Founder. Additionally, he will collaborate with other active investors of the company to facilitate its growth.
"We are pleased to see Thomas joining The Trading Pit and bringing on board his vast experience in prop trading and asset management. TTP provides the ultimate solution for talented traders wanting to become professional asset managers,” Radecker said in the press release.
