Dean Berry has joined MarketAxess Holdings as group chief operating officer and chief executive of EMEA and APAC, following more than four years at LSEG.
London-based Berry most recently served as LSEG’s head of workflows, a position he had held since January 2024. He was also interim co-head of the firm’s data and analytics business, which he took up in December 2024.
Berry’s new role is set to begin in Q4 2025 and in the role will oversee MarketAxess’ Global Operations, Risk, Product and Technology offering, and assist in driving forward the firm’s fixed-income markets globally.
He will report to MarketAxess chief executive, Chris Concannon, who said: “Not only does [Berry] have a consistent track record of scaling businesses profitably through technology and product transformation, but he also brings with him a deep expertise in managing trading workflows and analytics, alongside significant electronic trading and markets experience.”
His time at LSEG also includes a stint as global head of trading and banking solutions from November 2020 to February 2024.
Prior to this, Berry worked at BGC Partners as their global head of electronic and hybrid markets. He also worked as a fixed income trader for the first 16 years of his career at firms including Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein and Société Générale.
Speaking about his new appointment, Berry said: “I am excited to be joining the team at MarketAxess. I believe my previous experience as both a fixed-income trader and as a champion of electronic trading, as well as my track record of profitable product-led innovation, will set us up for continued success.”
