Nearly a week after Trading 212 announced the departure of its Chairman, Andrew Bole, the company has named Gary Dixon as its replacement, according to Dixon’s LinkedIn post today (Wednesday).

Extensive Experience in Various Board Roles

Dixon is assuming the role after dedicating nearly four years to serving as a Non-Executive Director and the Chair of the company’s audit committee. The outgoing Chair, Bole, had been the Non-Executive Chairman of Trading 212 since 2020, overseeing its growth in multiple international markets.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Dixon joined the Trading212 Board from Wesleyan Unit Trust Managers Limited, where he served as the Non-Executive Director and Audit Committee Chair. He also served in a similar capacity at the Universities Superannuation Scheme and chaired the University of Leicester Council.

Bole previously served as the Chief Risk Officer at IG Group for nearly fifteen years. His other notable experience includes serving as the Non-Executive Chair of the Remuneration Committee at Britannia Global Markets Limited. He has broad experience in brokerage and risk management roles.

Leadership Changes amid Global Expansion

The leadership changes at Trading 212 come as the company expands its offering globally. Early this year, the UK-based retail trading platform collaborated with Marqeta to launch its debit card in 20 countries across Europe. The launch came a year after Trading 212 introduced its debit card to the UK market.

“We’re aiming to make the stock market more accessible, giving over 3 million customers in the UK and Europe access to investment opportunities that were not easily accessible before,” said Mukid Chowdhury, CEO of Trading 212. “The Trading 212 card, powered by Marqeta, is an extension of our brand and helps keep Trading 212 at the forefront of our customers’ daily spending.

Besides that, FXFlat Bank, now under Trading 212, started offering commission-free trading services in Germany early this year. Supported by full BaFin licensing, the company is seeking to provide improved zero-commission trading for the global markets.
