Based at the BATS Europe headquarters in London, Eades will report to CEO Mark Hemsley.
Most recently, Eades was global general counsel at publicly traded Henderson Group, the international investment management firm, where he led legal, compliance and corporate secretariat functions in Europe, North America, Southeast Asia and Australia.
Eades has also led the European legal division for NYSE Euronext and served as global head of legal affairs for NYSE Liffe responsible for all legal matters related to derivatives.
Hemsley said they are pleased to welcome someone of Adam’s experience to the team during this period of profound change in the European market landscape as it relates to competition, regulation and market structure. His depth of legal and regulatory expertise and strong background in exchange trading, clearing and corporate governance makes him a tremendous addition to our senior management team.
