Prop trading firm Independent Trading Group (ITG) has tapped the former head of alternative trading system Omega ATS as its new CEO.
Toronto-based ITG announced on Tuesday that Sean Debotte has been appointed president and CEO of the firm.
“ITG offers a truly agnostic service to the trading community. I’m excited to be a part of that experience for traders and to implement the upcoming bespoke offerings which will provide our clients with innovative, transparent trading solutions and deliver liquidity,” Debotte said in a statement.
ITG, which was established by a group of floor traders in 1992, partnered with Chicago-based DV Group LLC in 2016.
“Following years of remarkable change, ITG is now primed for growth. Sean is an experienced CEO who has excelled at both strategic leadership and growth management. He is well-positioned to lead our team at this time,” said Dave Houlding, chair of ITG.
