TP ICAP Group, a leading provider of market infrastructure, today announces that it has appointed Darren Hayes as CEO of its Energy & Commodities business in the Americas.
Based in Houston, Texas, Darren will step into to the role after more than six years as Managing Director of North American Energy at TP ICAP. He brings vast experience in the energy trading landscape with over 26 years in the market, previously holding roles at OTCGH, NYMEX, NUON Energy Trade and Wholesale, and Coastal Energy Trading.
Starting in the new role from 21 March 2022, Darren’s appointment comes at a crucial time for the business. Following the launch of its energy broking business in Brazil in February, TP ICAP is looking to further leverage its ESG expertise to clients across the Americas, as well as a continued focus across Liquified Natural Gas, Natural Gas Liquids and traditional gas, power and crude markets.
Andrew Polydor, Head of Global Markets, TP ICAP said: “I am excited to welcome Darren to his new role and see him further utilise his market expertise as our US Energy & Commodities Business goes from strength to strength. With our recent expansion across the region, Darren will play a key role in executing our strategy and affirm our position as a market leader in all phases of energy and commodity transactions.”
Darren Hayes, CEO, Energy & Commodities Americas, TP ICAP said: “Over the last six years I have witnessed first-hand the skills and experience we have on offer in our US business. There is a wealth of opportunity open to us in both traditional and less mature markets and I am looking forward to working with our teams to capitalise on these, like we have already done in the power, gas, crude, refined products and renewable space in Latin America.
