In a one-line statement, FTSE 250 interdealer broker Tullett Prebon has announced that its chief operating officer (COO) has resigned.
Steph Duckworth, who became the COO of Tullett in December 2008, joined the firm back in 2003 and has held a number of executive positions over the years, including chief executive officer of the EMEA region and COO of Tullett Prebon Energy, according to Bloomberg Businessweek.
