The institutional division of Intertrader, Olivetree, has appointed Citigroup veterans to join its team. David Lackenby assumes the role of the Head of Event-Driven Sales Trading, while Mark Brodie steps in as an Event-Driven Sales Trader.

Both veterans bring a wealth of experience to their roles, with Lackenby boasting an extensive background spanning roles in Cantor Fitzgerald and Market Securities. Brodie, drawing from his tenure at Bear Sterns, Jefferies, and BTIG, augments his expertise in event-driven dynamics.

Intertrader's Push for Enhanced Investment Strategies

Olivetree specializes in event-driven investments, a domain that provides market insights. In an email sent to Finance Magnates, Intertrader expects to enhance its insights and event-driven investment strategies with the new hires.

Lackenby and Brodie began their effective roles on November 13th, 2023. The company said it aims to generate innovative ideas that transcend traditional practices to benefit its stakeholders with the experienced professionals.

In March, Intertrader appointed Joe Rundle as the Head of Intertrader. Rundle, an industry expert with over a decade's worth of FX experience, stepped into this role after a successful stint as the Chief of Staff at Capital.com. The spread betting and CFDs firm tapped Rundle's expertise to steer the company beyond its traditional offerings.

Recent Changes in Intertrader's Leadership

The appointment of Rundle marked a notable transition for Intertrader. His tenure within the FX industry, spanning over two decades and encompassing roles in reputed brands like ThinkMarkets and OvalX, positioned him as a seasoned strategist to take over his role at Intertrader.

In January, Intertrader elevated Louisa Plaice to Head of Public Affairs, expanding her portfolio beyond her prior position from Head of Marketing. Plaice stepped into her role with over 15 years of marketing expertise. She began her journey at Jane Norman, a UK-based women's clothing retailer, where she gained experience in marketing before transitioning into the financial sector. Furthermore, she served in different capacities at Equifax Gap Inc., among other firms, before joining Intertrader.
