IC Names New Global Head of Sales
Brokerage operators should watch whether this hire and the Haas sponsorship shift how IC wins and retains trading clients.
Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in People
IC has appointed Josh Fieldhouse as Global Head of Sales & Partnerships, and separately named Jaser Mahmoud as Chief Technology Officer and Petros Kalaitzis as General Manager of its prop trading division. Fieldhouse's appointment was disclosed in a LinkedIn post on November 2, 2026.
Why it matters
Senior sales and partnership leadership changes at a trading firm signal how the firm intends to grow its client acquisition and brand reach. For operators in brokerage and financial services, leadership hires in partnerships and technology are often the first visible step before a shift in distribution or product strategy.
Fieldhouse's career history includes roughly 1 year 5 months at Trade Nation, nearly 3 years at INFINOX Global, and more than 2 years at ETX Capital, with M4Markets from September 2024 to October 2025. The disclosed figures describe individual tenures only; no firm-level financial comparators are given.

Market Landscape
Retail forex brokers have increasingly used Formula 1 sponsorships to build brand visibility with trading audiences. IC's official trading-partner agreement with the MoneyGram Haas F1 Team follows that pattern, pairing it with sales-focused leadership appointments.
Operators in brokerage and trading-services businesses should watch whether IC's partnerships and sales hires lead to changes in affiliate, introducing-broker, or sponsorship programs. Firms competing for trading clients may also want to track how sports sponsorships are being used to build brand presence with retail audiences.
The takeaway
Watch for how IC's new sales and technology leadership reshapes its client acquisition and product roadmap over the coming quarters. Brokerage operators can track sponsorship-driven brand activity as a benchmark for their own marketing spend.
