<p>IG North America, the parent company of the online
retail brokerage firm tastytrade, has unveiled key leadership changes. Isaac
Poore has been named the Chief Financial Officer (CFO), while Jordan von Kluck has stepped
into the role of Regional Chief Technology Officer (CTO) for North America.</p><p>Formerly serving as the Financial Controller, Poore
succeeds Matt Hellmuth. Meanwhile, Kluck, who previously held the position of
CTO at tastytrade brokerage, will oversee technology initiatives across the
group.</p><p>JJ Kinahan, the CEO at IG North America and
President of tastytrade, mentioned: "At IG North America, we aim to foster
and promote talent from within that can help us continue to deliver innovation
and customer satisfaction with our platforms." These changes happen as
Linwood Ma, the current Regional CTO, prepares to retire by the end of the
year.</p><p>This transformation in leadership follows a year of
substantial growth for IG North America. Notably, the company underwent the
re-branding of the tastylive network and the tastytrade brokerage.</p><p>IG North America's Leadership and Global Workforce Reduction</p><p>Recently, <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/tag/ig-group/" target="_blank" rel="follow">IG Group</a>’s South African leadership changed
when Robert van Eyden departed from his role as CEO and was replaced by Aphindile
AB Bokleni, <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/" target="_blank" rel="follow">Finance Magnates</a> reported. </p><p>According to an exclusive interview with the media publication, <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/executives/exclusive-igs-south-africa-ceo-leaves-amid-global-workforce-reduction/" target="_blank" rel="follow">this transition</a> is part of IG Group's larger
initiative to reduce its global workforce by 10%. This move has implications
not just in South Africa but also globally, shaping the future of the company's
leadership and operations.</p><p>IG Group, a long-standing player in the retail
brokerage space since its establishment in 1974, recently disclosed plans to
downsize its global workforce by approximately 300 employees. This reduction constitutes
around 10% of its total workforce by the end of the fiscal year 2023.</p><p>Changes amid Expanding US Operations</p><p>In August, the American division of IG Group <a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/forex/ig-groups-american-arm-joins-fia-expands-its-global-trading-network/" target="_blank" rel="follow">joined the Futures Industry Association</a> (FIA). This membership in FIA, a global trade
body encompassing a spectrum of industry players from over 48 countries, reflected
the expansion of the firm's operations in the US.</p><p>This development happened following IG Group's
<a href="https://www.financemagnates.com/terms/a/acquisition/">acquisition</a> of tastyworks in 2021. This maneuver facilitated its
entry into the US market and boosted its revenue by 47% to £191.3
million in FY23, Finance Magnates reported.</p>
