He was previously CEO of F2 Strategy, and before that, President and COO at Orion, where he played a central role in scaling the business into a nationally recognized wealth technology platform.
Ryan's appointment underscores FNZ's strong commitment to North America, a critical growth region where the firm is seeing major demand for its AI-enabled, end-to-end wealth management platform, demonstrated through partnerships with clients such as BMO and Raymond James. His leadership will be pivotal in strengthening partnerships, scaling delivery and capturing the significant opportunities ahead across the U.S. and Canada.

In his new role, Peter will lead FNZ Markets, which provides clients with multi-asset listed securities execution, order management systems, post-trade software, and securities clearing and settlement services, alongside foreign exchange and other downstream capabilities. Under his leadership, FNZ will further embed its markets business into the global business, scale its services, and expand innovation to meet growing client demand.
Roman Regelman, Group President at FNZ, commented: "These appointments reflect our focus on building world-class leadership and delivering transformational value to our clients, advisors and end customers. Ryan's experience and relationships in North America will accelerate our growth in a critical region, while Peter's deep expertise in markets and technology will help us strengthen and scale FNZ Markets globally. Both leaders bring exceptional track records, and I'm delighted to welcome them to the Executive Committee."
Ryan Beach, Group Head of North America, said: "I'm thrilled to join FNZ at such an exciting stage.

Together, we can deliver even greater value and open up wealth for more people across the U.S. and Canada."
Peter Hiom, Group Head of Markets, added: "FNZ Markets is uniquely positioned to transform the market-side infrastructure that underpins wealth management globally. I'm excited to build on the strong foundations already in place and work closely with colleagues and clients to deliver innovative, efficient, and scalable solutions across the capital markets value chain."
