I’d also like to thank Karen for her commitment to Marex over the last three years as she has played an integral role in our evolution and growth, culminating in the recent listing on Nasdaq. She has been an important and respected member of the senior leadership team and has contributed to the growth and development of Marex, as we more than doubled the number of employees during her tenure.”
