According to his LinkedIn profile, Bole was the Chief Risk Officer at IG Group for nearly fifteen years.

He previously served as Chief Risk Officer at IG Group for 15 years and later held executive roles at GPP Group and Schroders Personal Wealth. His extensive experience in brokerage and risk management made him a notable figure in the sector.

Bole’s departure from Trading 212 follows his recent exit from Britannia Global Markets Limited, where he also served as non-executive Chairman. The timing of his resignation from both firms suggests a broader shift in his professional focus.
