A leading technology provider for brokers and liquidity providers has elevated Christina Barbash to the position of Chief Commercial Officer. Prior to this promotion, she held the role of Regional Sales Manager within the organization, a position she has occupied since the beginning of last year.
In her announcement on LinkedIn, Barbash expressed her appreciation for the exceptional team and clients she has worked with, emphasizing how their trust and partnership have been significant to her. She conveyed excitement about the prospect of contributing to the company’s commercial strategy, forging stronger client relationships, and aiding in global growth as the organization evolves.
Barbash has a solid background in the industry, having gained experience at FXPRIMUS in various capacities. She initially joined the online trading sector as a Business Development Manager, eventually stepping into leadership as Head of the Kazakhstan Office until 2020.
As a technology provider, this company specializes in developing solutions for brokers and liquidity providers, including aggregation software, connectivity tools, hosting services, and integrations with MetaTrader platforms. Their flagship product, XCore, functions as an aggregation engine that facilitates trade routing and connects with over 120 market makers and Tier-1 banks globally.
The organization operates multiple data centers in countries like the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, and China, providing tailored hosting and connectivity solutions for a range of firm sizes. Additionally, it offers bridging technology for MetaTrader 4 and 5 to ensure seamless synchronization with the XCore platform, along with white-label solutions that combine their technological infrastructure with various administrative services.
An example of how their services are utilized can be seen with Advanced Markets, which recently announced an expansion of its liquidity distribution by integrating the XCore technology. This partnership was initially established in 2020.
In the realm of executive movements, the week also saw Hantec Markets appointing Michael Nichols as the Chief Executive Officer for its institutional division, Hantec Prime. With this new role, Nichols aims to enhance Hantec Prime’s institutional standing and strengthen ties with liquidity clients while promoting the adoption of its trading infrastructure.
Nichols brings a wealth of experience to the position, having previously served as Chief Commercial Officer at Match-Prime Liquidity, a role he vacated earlier in the year, alongside a tenure as Head of Sales at Match-Trade Technologies for approximately three years.
Overall, the recent leadership changes reflect growth and strategic realignment within the companies, illustrating a commitment to expanding their market presence and enhancing client relationships in a competitive industry. Barbash’s promotion signifies a focus on nurturing commercial strategies, while Nichols’ appointment aligns with the ongoing efforts to bolster institutional operations and client engagement. This dynamic phase in leadership heralds potential growth opportunities as both organizations adapt to evolving market demands and client needs.
