Sean Windeatt has served as BGC’s Chief Operating Officer for the past 14 years and was appointed Co-Global Head of Brokerage in 2023. Since 2012, he has also held the role of Chief Executive Officer of BGC’s UK business.
Based in London, Mr. Windeatt has been with the Company for more than 27 years. He joined Cantor Fitzgerald in 1997 in the Finance Department and, following the tragic events of September 11, 2001, he was instrumental in stabilizing and rebuilding the firm’s brokerage operations.
With BGC’s establishment as an independent company in 2004, he became an integral part of its growth and development. In 2009, he was appointed Chief Operating Officer, overseeing key strategic initiatives, operational efficiencies, and the Company’s expansion. His leadership extended further in 2012 when he became CEO of BGC Brokers, L.P., guiding the UK business through a period of growth and transformation. In 2023, he assumed the role of Co-Global Head of Brokerage, further strengthening BGC’s position in the industry.
