The European head of Global Trading Systems, a high-speed trading firm based in New York, is to leave after less than a year in the role, but the firm remains committed to "growing" its business in the region.

Jamal Tarazi, who joined GTS as a managing director and head of its European operations in July 2015, stepped down as a director of GTS Securities Europe Ltd on May 27, according to a Companies House filing.
