GPS is pleased to capitalize on its growth in the East, with the opening of the new office and the addition of Wes Seeger as a Director of Foreign Exchange. “I am looking forward to establishing GPS Capital Market's office in Charlotte and building a team to cover the region,” said Seeger. “GPS Capital Markets has a robust offering of foreign exchange products and services that will be welcome in this market.”

“We are thrilled to be expanding our footprint on the East Coast and feel fortunate to have Wes help head this effort,” said Ryan Gibbons, Founder and Managing Partner at GPS Capital Markets. “His experience in the FX industry will be a large asset to our clients.”

Mr. Seeger recently worked as a Director in the Rates and Currencies group at Bank of America Merrill Lynch. Wes held that role for 12 years and has 29 years of experience in the foreign exchange markets.  He focuses on all aspects of foreign exchange with his clients.

During his career, he has focused on corporate advisory work, mainly covering the middle market space.  While in Chicago, he covered a portfolio of Midwestern companies, mainly based in Michigan, which gave him an opportunity to learn about the auto industry and the specific FX issues they face.
