London-based market maker XTX Markets has appointed Hans Buehler as its new deputy CEO, effective July 2022.
Buehler will join XTX Markets from JP Morgan, where he served in various leadership positions for close to 14 years.
Most recently, Buehler served as global head of equities data analytics, automation and optimisation, as well as global head of equities and securities services quantitative research at the investment bank.

“We are delighted to welcome Hans to XTX Markets. He is a strong cultural fit and will bring a wealth of experience to the firm,” said Amrolia.
Speaking on Buehler’s appointment, Alex Gerko, founder and co-CEO of XTX Markets, said: “I am looking forward to working closely with Hans as XTX enters its next phase of growth.”
