Exclusive: ADSS exec departures continue – Jo Page (CFO) and Kevin Ball (HR head)
FNG Exclusive… Following our previous coverage of a number of senior management resignations at UAE based Retail FX and CFDs brokerage group ADSS (more details below) over the past year or so, FNG has learned that a number of the recent additions to the ADSS team to replace those departed execs have now left themselves.
Exiting ADSS is London based Group CFO Joanne Page (pictured above), who just joined ADSS in August of 2021, replacing the group’s former CFO Trevor Beagrie. Jo Page had joined ADSS after spending three years as CFO of Saxo Bank UK from 2018-2021. She had also previously worked at Capital Index, ETX Capital, and City Index, in senior financial and operating roles.
Also leaving ADSS after a very short tenure is Kevin Ball, brought in less than a year ago as Chief Human Resources Officer. Kevin Ball was previously Vice President of Global Talent Management and Vice President of Human Resources at auto industry software firm CDK Global.
