Mark Hemsley joins Fidectus' Advisory Board

Zürich, October 22, 2020 – Fidectus is proud to announce Mark Hemsley as an Advisory Board Member. Mark was a founding member and CEO of BATS Europe, which launched in October 2008. After the acquisition by Cboe Global Markets, Mark became President of the European division. Mark helped building BATS into the leading stock exchange group in Europe, surpassing legacy markets which had been in operation for centuries, and which became a Recognized Investment Exchange (RIE) in 2013. He received the Financial News “Decade of Excellence Award” for outstanding contribution to Capital Markets. In 2018, he received the “Industry Leader of the Year Award”. And just recently in 2020, Mark’s work driving the transformation of the trading landscape in the region was recognised with him receiving the Financial News “Editor’s Choice Award”, a lifetime achievement award.
“Currently, over-the-counter energy and commodity trades suffer from extensive time lags when it comes down to confirmation, settlement, and payment. Fidectus’ next-generation post-deal solutions close this cross-company gap and move OTC energy and commodity trading towards exchange like efficiencies”, says Mark Hemsley.
The Fidectus co-founders would like to thank Mark for his already afforded commitment. “Mark’s extensive experience of capital markets, exchanges and trading platforms are invaluable to Fidectus and its customers”, says Dr. Jens Bartenschlager, CEO and co-founder at Fidectus.
