A global fintech brokerage has appointed a new Global Head of Risk and Trading, marking a significant addition to its leadership team. The new executive brings over 15 years of experience in the trading sector, having previously held a prominent position at a well-known brokerage firm.
This brokerage operates in 23 locations worldwide and is licensed by various regulatory authorities, including the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC), the UAE’s Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC), and the South African Financial Sector Conduct Authority (FSCA). These licenses reflect the company’s commitment to operating within stringent regulatory frameworks across diverse markets.
In addition to leadership changes, the firm has been expanding its global presence. Noteworthy appointments in recent months include a Director of Institutional Operations who has over three decades of experience in foreign exchange markets, covering areas such as trading, prime brokerage, and e-brokerage. This executive’s expertise is expected to enhance the company’s operational capabilities and client service offerings.
Another key figure, recently appointed as Chief Commercial Officer, possesses extensive experience in the financial services industry. Prior to this role, he held a similar position at his previous firm, where he was instrumental in driving revenue growth. His addition to the team is seen as a strategic move to bolster commercial initiatives and expand market reach.
The firm is also undergoing notable developments in its service offerings. This year, it launched a proprietary trading service designed to support traders in their financial and professional development. The initiative, termed ‘ATFunded,’ aims to not only provide capital access but also foster an environment conducive to long-term growth for traders. This new platform emphasizes opportunities for traders to thrive and evolve, beyond just securing financial backing.
Moreover, the firm is celebrating the opening of a new office in Mexico, which underscores its commitment to expanding operations in Latin America. This milestone is part of a broader strategy to enhance its presence in key international markets and tap into the potential of these regions.
The combination of strategic executive appointments, innovative service expansion, and geographic growth positions the brokerage for continued success in an increasingly competitive landscape. The leadership team is optimistic that these changes will drive the company forward, emphasizing a commitment to quality service and client satisfaction as it navigates new opportunities in the financial sector.
