Online trading and investment firm Saxo has appointed Andrew Bresler as CEO of its UK business, effective 3 June. He replaces interim CEO Simon Camilleri.
Bresler has almost 20 years of industry experience, and served as deputy head of APAC sales trading for Saxo between 2016 and 2018.
He rejoins the company from InvestCloud, where most recently he was chief revenue officer and deputy general manager for APAC. Before this, he was head of South East Asia and head of sales for APAC at the company.
Prior to InvestCloud, Bresler was regional head of brokerage, portfolio finance and digital investments for APAC and EMEA.
Commenting on his appointment, Bresler said: “As one of the largest markets for the financial services industry globally, the UK offers an enormous opportunity to grow the Saxo brand. Saxo UK is well positioned to capture this opportunity thanks to our broad – and expanding – product suite, and competitive pricing which was rolled out earlier this year.
“Coupled with the robust regulatory foundation which the team have built, I have full confidence that we can realise the business’ full potential together. I look forward to working with the passionate team in London and across the organisation.”
Stig Christensen, chief commercial officer at Saxo, added: “[Bresler] is not only a seasoned leader, but also a great team player with a deep understanding of our industry, products, platforms, and clients. The combined strengths of our leadership team, the employees in the UK and Andrew’s capabilities gives me great confidence in the future success for our UK business, where we have ambitious growth plans.”
