Before joining GKFX this month which resulted in one of the shortest executive tenures in the retail FX industry’s history, Mr. Rundle spent 12 years at British spread betting stalwart ETX Capital, where he was Head of Trading and Partnerships between July 2010 and August this year, preceded by Head of CFDs and Execution between 2004 and 2010.
