Gil Mandelzis has been with Icap since 2007, when it acquired Traiana.

Mandelzis is set to leave the company to take his career "in a different direction," although no details have been confirmed on when he will depart, according to a statement. Icap will consider both internal and external options for his replacement.

After founding pre- and post-trade processing solution provider Traiana in 2000, Mandelzis joined Icap when the business was acquired by the inter-dealer broker in 2007, taking charge of Icap's electronic FX business in 2012. When Icap merged its FX and fixed-income businesses in 2014, Mandelzis took charge of the combined EBS BrokerTec division.

The announcement comes during the ongoing sale of Icap's voice brokerage business to fellow London-based interdealer-broker Tullett Prebon, in a deal worth $1.68 billion announced last November.

"I have decided that it is a good time for me to start a new chapter," Mandelzis said in a statement. "Although I have decided to leave, I believe that EBS BrokerTec is exceptionally well positioned for growth."
