In recent executive reshuffles, Tempo hired Simon Taylor as a full-time addition to enhance its focus on blockchain payments. This appointment comes after Taylor’s transition from his role as a strategic advisor at a fraud prevention platform, where he will continue to offer guidance but will no longer be involved in day-to-day operations.
In another significant change, Erkin Kamran, the CEO of Traze, has stepped down to embark on a new venture that aims to merge traditional finance with Web3 technologies. He expressed his intent to focus on innovations in trading and fintech while encouraging others in the industry to collaborate on product development, liquidity management, and effective market strategies. Notably, Traze recently obtained a legal license to operate in the UAE.
Meanwhile, FYNXT has appointed Stephen Miles as their Chief Revenue Officer charged with overseeing global sales and marketing strategies. He brings in significant experience from his previous position as Global Vice President and General Manager of Software Services at OpenText, alongside other high-ranking roles in established firms.
In a move within the financial services sector, Gavin Chia has been named the new CEO of IG Singapore & Emerging Markets. Previously, Chia led Moomoo Singapore as CEO and COO, and before that, he was the Managing Director at Futu Singapore, contributing notably to their local operations and regulatory compliance.
In the UK, Albert Soleiman, who served as CFO at CMC Markets, has joined a London-based digital services firm specializing in web design and online marketing. This transition follows his departure from CMC Markets earlier this year, where he exited alongside an announcement that confirmed his resignation as a director.
Additionally, Rosemary Barnes, who previously directed PR efforts in fintech and cryptocurrency, has launched her own agency titled PR Plug. This new venture will cater to businesses in various sectors, including forex, cryptocurrency, fintech, and artificial intelligence. Barnes’s extensive background includes roles at CoinPayments and B2Broker, giving her a strong foundation for her new agency.
These executive moves reflect ongoing changes and innovations in the financial and technology sectors, as companies adapt to the evolving market landscape.
