BGC Appoints Clive England as head of e-commerce for North America

AS head of e-commerce at BGC, Clive England will develop hybrid trading applications in the U.S., leveraging the company's technical backbone in the U.K.

BGC, the interdealer brokerage that provides integrated voice and electronic services to wholesale fixed income, interest rate, foreign exchange and derivatives markets, appointed Clive England director and head of e-commerce for North America.
