Marex Welcomes Ex-CME Group CFO John Pietrowicz to Board

Marex, a diversified global financial services platform, has announced the appointment of John W. Pietrowicz to its Group Board. Pietrowicz, who served as the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) at CME Group until 2023, is anticipated to join later this year. His appointment brings a wealth of experience in financial markets and regulatory oversight to Marex.

During his tenure at CME Group, Pietrowicz played a pivotal role in shaping the financial strategy of the derivatives exchanges worldwide. He held various responsibilities including corporate finance, accounting, investor relations, and treasury management. Before assuming the role of CFO, Pietrowicz led corporate development and mergers and acquisitions initiatives at CME Group, contributing significantly to his strategic expertise and deal-making proficiency.

Robert Pickering, Chair of the Marex Board, expressed enthusiasm about Pietrowicz's appointment, highlighting his extensive industry experience. "He also joins with a strong financial background, having served on the FASAC; he was a top-ranked CFO by the investing community, and is a seasoned dealmaker, all of which will be of enormous benefit to Marex. All of us are looking forward to working with John and benefiting from his knowledge and experience as Marex continues to develop its business," Pickering added.

Marex has been steadily expanding its global presence, with recent milestones including becoming a trading and clearing member of the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX)​ and Singapore Exchange Group (SGX)​.

In December 2024, Marex confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form F-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in December, signaling its proposed initial public offering of ordinary shares.
