FNG Exclusive… FNG has learned that trading platform startup Reactive Markets has made its first major hire outside of its core of founding partners, bringing on board Henry Durrant as Head of Business Development.

Henry Durrant joins Reactive Markets after spending the past two years at institutional FX venue FXSpotStream, focusing on UK and European business development for the New Jersey based firm. He had also previously worked at Deutsche Borse at its eFX Liquidity Management 360TGTX arm, for Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group on its eFX desk and at Thomson Reuters in FX transaction sales.
