Global trading and financial services firm GTN has appointed Mark Evans as Head of Corporate Development, reinforcing its focus on strategic growth and expansion across key international markets.
Evans joins GTN from IG Group, where he held senior roles and built a strong track record in driving corporate strategy, partnerships, and M&A initiatives. His experience at IG, one of the world’s leading online trading providers, is expected to bring valuable insight to GTN as it continues to scale its global footprint.
In his new role, Evans will be responsible for identifying and executing strategic opportunities, including mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and partnerships that align with GTN’s long-term growth objectives. He will also work closely with senior leadership to shape the company’s corporate strategy and enhance its market positioning in an increasingly competitive trading landscape.
The appointment comes at a time when GTN is accelerating its expansion strategy, with a particular emphasis on strengthening its institutional offering and enhancing its technology-driven solutions. As the financial services industry continues to evolve, firms are increasingly prioritizing scale, innovation, and cross-border capabilities—areas where Evans’ expertise is expected to play a key role.
GTN has been actively investing in its infrastructure and product suite, aiming to deliver seamless trading experiences to clients worldwide. The addition of a dedicated corporate development leader signals the firm’s intent to pursue both organic and inorganic growth opportunities, while maintaining a disciplined approach to execution and risk management.
Evans’ background in corporate development and strategic planning positions him well to support GTN’s ambitions. During his tenure at IG Group, he contributed to initiatives that expanded the firm’s reach and strengthened its competitive edge in global markets. His understanding of the trading ecosystem, combined with his experience in evaluating complex transactions, is expected to add depth to GTN’s leadership team.
With Evans now leading corporate development, GTN is poised to further enhance its strategic capabilities and pursue new avenues for growth. His appointment underscores the company’s commitment to building a robust and forward-looking organization, capable of adapting to evolving market dynamics and delivering long-term value to its stakeholders.
