NinjaTrader names Paul Stevens regional director for RoW

NinjaTrader has appointed Paul Stevens as regional director for the rest of the world (RoW), according to an update on his LinkedIn profile.

Stevens started the position in June 2026 after spending more than 16 years at online trading provider IG. During his time there, he held commercial, operational, and client-facing roles.

He joined NinjaTrader after nearly six years as IG's head of emerging markets. Stevens managed profit and loss for IG's emerging markets and South African operations, with responsibility for commercial strategy, customer acquisition, pricing, and expansion.

Under his leadership, the business achieved double-digit annual revenue growth. New customer acquisition also rose by more than 20% year over year. In addition, Stevens created a partner channel that eventually generated 10% of new customer applications.

Between 2017 and 2020, he worked as IG's global head of client performance. His responsibilities included improving client retention, refining customer segmentation, and increasing operational efficiency across the group.

Earlier in his career, Stevens held positions including head of trading services for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, manager of trading services in the UK, and sales trader.

Stevens is the second senior IG executive to join NinjaTrader within the past year. The futures broker hired Christopher Tripp as general manager of its international division in February. Tripp previously worked as commercial director for IG's UK entity.
