Prior to becoming CEO of IG, Ms Felix was the President of Verifone Europe and Russia, with responsibility for the operation of the Verifone business throughout those territories.

She has held a variety of executive management positions at a number of large multi-national businesses. These include Citibank, where she was Managing Director of Global Healthcare, Citi Enterprise Payments and IBM Corporation, where she led their global Banking and Financial Markets business. Ms Felix was also a strategy consultant at Booz, Allen & Hamilton. She started her career at P&G in brand management marketing.

Back in September, when his departure was unveiled, Mr Hetherington commented that “There is a great deal of change underway in the retail trading industry and I have every confidence that this team will continue to drive the business forward successfully in the future”.
