Philip Kim has joined LMAX Exchange as its newest Head of Institutional Sales – Asia Pacific (APAC), according to information made public on his Linkedin profile.

In his new role as the Head of Institutional Sales – APAC, Mr. Kim will be based out of Hong Kong, where he will help to reinforce the group’s sales capabilities to its institutional clientele in the APAC region.

Mr. Kim joins LMAX Exchange from Kyonai Shoken Limited, a Hong Kong-based financial services firm he founded earlier this year. Prior to Kyonai Shoken, he also worked at FXCM for nearly a decade, dating back to 2005 – most recently he held a senior role as its Vice President in Hong Kong up until his departure in February 2015.

The company has made a number of hires as of late – last month, LMAX brought in foreign exchange (FX) sales maven Chris Warburton to serve as its institutional London-based sales executive. Mr. Warburton joined LMAX after a seven-year stint at Citigroup, having worked most recently in FX sales for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region since 2008.

LMAX Exchange is a London-based FCA-regulated multilateral trading facility for FX trading. The group provides a low latency, order-driven Execution venue for a number of electronic trading venues, relegated to the FX market.
