Viral was previously Global Head of Product for EBS having joined the firm in 2013 from Integral, which he co-founded in 1993. Both Arthur and Viral are based in New York.
Gerard Varjacques has been appointed Head of Sales for EBS BrokerTec, having previously been Head of Sales for EBS. Gerard will focus on generating new business across the group and continue to be based in New York.

Under the new EBS BrokerTec Executive Management Team, we look forward to expanding the diverse range of liquidity and trading styles that we offer our customers.
“Both EBS Market and BrokerTec Market are critical to the long-term growth of our business. By combining them into one CLOB business division, we are leveraging the strong synergies in technology, operations and sales to provide robust and innovative CLOB solutions for the fixed income and foreign exchange markets. Under Dan and Darryl’s expert leadership, we will continue to grow and provide a stable and efficient trading environment for our customers.
“I am pleased that Phil Harris has decided to join us. Phil has over 25 years’ experience in the foreign exchange markets spanning voice broking, exchange and e-OTC. We have seen great innovation and growth in new products and functionality at EBS Market over the past couple of years. I am confident that under Phil’s leadership and supported by the EBS-BrokerTec team, EBS Market will continue to grow market share and its leadership position in the market.”
