Anastasios Lamaris is set to join Tauro Markets, a brokerage firm that entered the market in 2024, after a brief tenure at Octa Markets. His new responsibilities will encompass the enhancement of the company’s service offerings, targeting both retail and B2B clients. The firm intends to provide a diverse range of products, including traditional Contracts for Difference (CFDs), physical cryptocurrencies, stocks, and Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs).
Lamaris has built a noteworthy career within the FX/CFD sector. He initially served as a senior forex dealer at Ober Investments and later transitioned to a leadership role at Scope Markets in Cyprus, where he spent three years as Head of Brokerage, culminating in his position as Head of Dealing & Risk. In May 2024, he took up the same role at Octa Markets but has now shifted to Tauro Markets, which also necessitates a move, as the new company is based in Dubai.
Tauro Markets has made significant strides since its inception, recently strengthening its executive team. This includes the recruitment of Nadine Azzam as Partner-CEO for the MENA region in December, along with Carla Nemr joining as Commercial Chief in October. These appointments signify the firm’s commitment to enhancing its leadership and strategic direction.
With the launch of Tauro Markets, which was recently highlighted by various financial news outlets, the firm has emphasized its ambition to expand beyond conventional CFD offerings. The company plans to introduce physically-backed assets, including stocks and cryptocurrencies, a niche area still relatively uncommon in the brokerage landscape.
A focus on the B2B sector is also a strategic priority for Tauro Markets. The organization aims to cater not just to individual retail clients but also to businesses, thus acknowledging the potential growth in this segment. As noted by a company co-founder, there is a strong belief that many existing brokerage platforms are ill-equipped to meet the evolving needs of upcoming clientele.
Tauro Markets is underpinned by the Synervest Group and is co-founded by a team of motivated individuals who bring a wealth of experience from various financial backgrounds. Their objective is to create a brokerage environment that is adaptable and well-suited to address the dynamic nature of modern financial markets. This strategic focus positions Tauro to be a competitive participant in the rapidly changing brokerage industry.
