Equiti Capital Hires Industry Veteran Stephane Treny as Senior FX Sales Trader

The FCA regulated forex/cfd liquidity provider Equiti Capital​ (formerly known as Divisa Capital) has hired Stephane Treny, a veteran with over 25 years of industry experience, to its agency FX Desk. In his new position of Senior FX Sales Trader, Stephane will be responsible for developing relationships with buy side players in Europe.

Previously, Stephane had served in senior FX sales roles at several world’s leading financial service providers, including Deutsche Bank, UBS, and Credit-Suisse. Most recently, he spent nearly 7 years at Unicredit as Head of FX Sales for France, Switzerland, and Benelux and 6 months at Avalon Capital Markets as Co-head of Fixed Income, Currencies and Commodities.

Benedict Sears, Head of Equiti's FX Desk, stated: "We are delighted to welcome Stephane to the Desk. His arrival marks the start of the Desk's expansion into the provision of voice execution, macroeconomic analysis, market colour, and trade idea generation. "

Commenting on his new role, Stephane Treny said: "Now, more than ever, the need for voice execution is apparent, especially when dealing with big sizes or sensitive currency pairs. Outsourcing voice execution brings greater flexibility by personalizing the way deals are executed. It also facilitates interactions and discussions about market trends, market views and trade ideas."

Besides Stephane, Equiti Capital, according to Benedict Sears, has also appointed Edouard Gabrillagues as a junior FX sales trader and will soon announce another appointment of a senior voice sales trader to its London-based agency FX Desk.
