Alasdair Haynes, the chief executive of Aquis, a recently launched alternative trading venue for European equities, has been appointed as the non-executive chairman of Neonet, a move that continues the Swedish broker’s plans to rebuild its business.

The firm announced today that Haynes, who has been on the Neonet board since February 2013, will replace Peter Melbi, who is leaving the firm to take on another board directorship.
