Chi-X Australia, a wholly owned subsidiary of market operator Chi-X(R) Global Holdings, has appointed Peter Warton as head of market operations. He joins from Tibra, where he served as global head of IT operations. Throughout his 25 year career working with financial markets and platforms, he has gained extensive experience in software development, market connectivity, client services management and market operations.

His appointment comes as Chi-X Australia entered into its fourth year of operations with a record month in October, with total market turnover of A$20.34 billion or an 18% market share.

Chi-X's existing head of market operations, Jamie Crank, has moved to a new role as head of product where he is responsible for developing trading solutions. In addition, Chris Lampropoulos, who previously worked for Chi-X Canada, has joined Chi-X Australia and is responsible for the development of the market data business.
