He previously worked for a number of UK financial service firms, including Tavira Securities, Ltd., and at Credit Agricole and BNP Paribas. 
RVAssets' U.K. brokerage launched in November 2014, and the U.S. arm went live in January 2015. “On a day-to-day basis, we are pricing and executing business, which is almost impossible to do the old-fashioned way.” Fitch told Traders Magazine in 2015. 
“If you did the open outcry pit of Chicago, or picked up the telephone and spent 20 minutes trying to negotiate a trade, the rates being charged would be exorbitant.”
Since RVassets was founded, Eurodollar options trading has moved from 20 percent electronic to nearly 50 percent by the end of 2019. The migration to electronic has been made an imperative as over 90 percent of the volume is now electronic in Eurodollars and Treasuries, with the rest being block trades, Fitch told John Lothian News.

Previously, Fitch worked as an interest intermediary at the financial services company Tavira Securities, Ltd., and at Credit Agricole and BNP Paribas as a hedge fund salesman.

Fitch graduated from University of Cambridge in 1992 with a Master of Arts of Natural Sciences.
