Maxine Dennis is responsible for QuantumFX’s relationships with banks, brokerages and hedge funds, and the continued development of its institutional business. Dennis was a spot FX trader at Citi between 2004 and 2008, and has more than 20 years’ experience in the currency markets, having previously worked at UBS, Fuji Bank and Yamaichi Bank.
Mark Davison, global head of institutional sales at QuantumFX, says Dennis’ reputation in the market and experience brings a new element of expertise to the firm.
“QuantumFX has strived to diversify the portfolio of offerings we provide over recent months and it is apparent that, even in this electronic age, relationships remain essential attributes for success,” says Davison.
QuantumFX is an FX trading platform featuring anonymous trading via a central clearing counterparty model with multiple execution mechanisms. It uses Currenex infrastructure.
