Online multi-asset trading services and currency data and analytics provider OANDA today announces the appointment of Emmanuel Coulon as Chief Technology Officer. Mr Coulon will be responsible for driving the firm’s global technology strategy and providing technical leadership across all areas of the business.
With extensive experience of almost three decades, Mr Coulon has worked with several leading financial services and technology firms over the years.

Based in London, Mr Niebank is responsible for introducing additional trading instruments, client-focused partnerships and platform enhancements. Also in December, OANDA appointed David Grant as Chief Operating Officer, Asia Pacific. In his new role, Mr Grant will be based in Singapore. He will be responsible for overseeing the firm’s administrative and operational functions as well as enhancing the overall efficiency of the business.
OANDA has also recently recruited Mark Chesterman as Head of Trading and Lucian Lauerman as Head of Solutions for Business.
