Simona Wilkinson has shared news of her career transition on
LinkedIn. She will now serve as the Head of Strategic Operations at
Pepperstone.
She noted: “After an incredible journey in HR, I’m thrilled
to share that I’m embarking on a new chapter here at Pepperstone as the Head of
Strategic Operations.”
Strategic Operations Role Filled
In her new role, Wilkinson will handle strategic operations,
leveraging her background in people management, process optimization, and
organizational strategy. She has expressed a keen interest in this new
direction.
Wilkinson has been with Pepperstone for a period. She
started as Senior People and Culture Partner for the UK & EMEA in January
2021, a role she held until July 2023. She then moved to the position of
Regional Head of People & Culture for EMEA & LATAM at Pepperstone,
starting in July 2023.
Before joining Pepperstone, Wilkinson worked at JUUL Labs,
Cochrane formerly known as The Cochrane Collaboration, and Iglu.com in various
HR roles.
She expressed her enthusiasm, stating: “A huge thank you to
everyone who has supported me throughout my HR journey. Your guidance,
mentorship, and encouragement have been invaluable, and I carry those lessons
with me as I step into this new role. Here’s to new challenges, new growth, and
an exciting future.”
Launching 24-Hour Trading
Recently, Pepperstone
introduced 24-hour CFD trading on US shares through cTrader, MetaTrader,
and TradingView, as reported by Finance
Magnates. This new service allows traders to act on market-moving news and
events outside of standard market hours.
While stock markets have limited trading sessions,
significant events like corporate earnings and geopolitical news often happen
outside these hours. Pepperstone’s 24-hour CFD trading aims to help traders
take advantage of such opportunities and reduce the risk of price gaps when
markets reopen.
The offering includes popular stocks like Nvidia, Tesla, and
Apple, with fees starting at $0.02 per share and no minimum commission.
This move aligns with discussions at the New York Stock
Exchange about round-the-clock trading, reflecting a trend seen in
cryptocurrency markets and enhanced by accessible trading platforms.
Pepperstone claims to be the first to offer this service on cTrader and
TradingView, in addition to MT5.
