A notable transition has occurred within the financial services industry as the head of the Dubai branch of a prominent digital prime broker recently made the move to a financial super app provider, Fasset, taking on the role of Managing Director.
The individual transitioned to Fasset after a tenure at the broker, where they played a key role in establishing the company’s presence in the MENA region with the opening of its Dubai office in 2022. Prior to this, the individual had an extensive background at an institutional brokerage firm, serving in various capacities, including as the Regional Director for Turkey from 2014 to 2019.
Fasset, which operates out of Dubai, is focused on the Asian and African markets and is designed to allow users to manage their digital and real-world financial assets in the currency of their choice. The platform is regulated by Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), aligning with regional regulations regarding virtual assets.
In announcing the new role at Fasset, the incoming Managing Director expressed excitement about joining a team dedicated to making digital assets more accessible. They highlighted the company’s mission to foster inclusivity, transparency, and a connected financial future, which aligns with their personal belief that genuine impact is generated when innovation is purpose-driven.
The vision of expanding across Asia and Africa is not merely about business growth; it is focused on achieving substantial impact within regions that are poised to shape the future of innovation, thereby creating lasting value for the communities served.
The new Managing Director conveyed optimism about working alongside a group of passionate innovators and builders at Fasset. The collective ambition is to enhance the company’s global reach, boost institutional adoption, and fulfill the company’s mission in meaningful and transformative ways.
This leadership change reflects a larger trend within the financial sector, where individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences are increasingly sought after to drive innovation and foster growth in digital financial services. As the market continues to evolve, the emphasis is shifting toward creating environments that prioritize both progress and purpose, establishing a financial landscape that meets the needs of a diverse user base in a rapidly changing world.
