The markets veteran, who has worked with TradeLocker since 2023, will help lead the company into its next phase of global growth.
TradeLocker has appointed Tim Grant as Chairman. Grant has worked closely with the team since 2023, and he steps into the role as TradeLocker gets ready to compete at scale with the largest platforms in the market.
Grant brings more than 25 years of experience in financial markets and financial technology. He is CEO of Deus X Capital and Founder and Executive Chairman of TensorX, and he chairs several companies across trading, payments, and market data. His previous roles include Head of EMEA at Galaxy Digital, CEO of SIX Digital Exchange, CEO of R3 Lab and Research Centre, and Managing Director at UBS.
What the role covers
As Chairman, Grant will work with CEO Dom Bradley, the leadership team, and shareholders. His focus will be strategic partnerships, capital raising, international expansion, and long-term strategy, including the opportunities AI creates for the business.
“Since 2023, I have watched TradeLocker’s product mature, its client base grow, and its team earn its place against platforms that have been in the market far longer,” said Grant. “The company is now positioned to compete at scale with the largest players, and it sits where risk, infrastructure, and trading meet, which is where I have spent my career. This is the right time to join forces with Dom and his highly capable team to assess the strategic options and drive a significant growth story.”
Where the market is heading
Grant sees the industry at a turning point.
“The trading industry has grown enormously, and the expectations placed on it have grown even faster,” he said. “Traders are better informed and more demanding than they were a decade ago, and brokers are competing harder than ever to earn their loyalty. AI will accelerate that shift. In my experience, these are the moments when market structure changes and new leaders emerge. The firms that win the next decade will be the ones that give their traders a reason to stay. TradeLocker is positioned to be the platform those firms build on, and my role is to help the company seize that opportunity at scale.”
What it means for brokers and traders
In institutional markets, a firm is judged by the infrastructure behind it, and retail is no different. Traders judge their broker by the platform it gives them, so brokers need one their traders want to stay on. That platform has to meet traders where they are: in markets that do not get easier and do not reward guesswork.
Professionals trade with risk discipline built into every decision. Every trader deserves the same, and that is the standard TradeLocker is building toward, from the trading platform itself to TradeLocker Studio for building and backtesting strategies.
