SGT Markets has announced the appointment of Peter Kristensen as its new Chief Executive Officer, marking a significant leadership transition as the company positions itself for continued growth in the global trading industry. Kristensen steps into the role following his promotion from Chief Financial Officer, a position he has held since 2022.
During his tenure as CFO, Kristensen played a key role in strengthening the company’s financial and operational foundations, contributing to its strategic development and long-term vision. His promotion reflects the firm’s confidence in his leadership capabilities and deep understanding of both the business and the wider fintech landscape.
Kristensen brings extensive experience across fintech, trading, and executive leadership. In addition to his responsibilities at SGT Markets, he is the founder of trademakers, a fintech platform designed to give private investors access to professional, regulated alternative investment strategies through innovative fractionalized structures. This entrepreneurial background is expected to further support SGT Markets’ focus on innovation, accessibility, and scalable growth.
Operating under Sterling Gent Trading Ltd., SGT Markets is regulated by the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (BVIFSC). The broker provides access to a broad range of markets, including forex, equity index CFDs, crypto CFDs, energy CFDs, and spot metals, serving a diverse international client base.
Kristensen’s appointment comes at a time of notable senior leadership changes across the FX and CFDs sector, as firms adapt their strategies to evolving market conditions and prepare for new growth opportunities in the year ahead. With his combined financial expertise, fintech insight, and strategic vision, Kristensen is well positioned to guide SGT Markets through its next phase of development.
The company stated that under his leadership, SGT Markets will continue to focus on strengthening its product offering, enhancing client experience, and reinforcing its position within the competitive global trading landscape.
