“Given the shift to a one-tier Board following the update to the corporate holding structure as well as the demands from my other executive and non-executive roles, I recognized that I would not be able to serve Flow Traders to the best of my ability.I therefore decided that it would be appropriate to stand down from my role at Flow Traders.
