With three decades of financial services experience, Corcoran, the former CEO of money transfer firm WorldRemit, brings valuable expertise to the company.
Despite being an outsider to retail trading, his background in online betting and previous role as CEO of Betfair, including overseeing its merger with Paddy Power in 2015, positions him well for his new role at IG.
Corcoran is scheduled to join IG on January 29, 2024, and will also take a seat on the Board. IG, which is focused on cost-cutting with a target of £50 million in savings, recently reduced its workforce by 10%, including the former South Africa CEO Robert van Eyden.
