London-based prime-of-prime broker and liquidity solutions firm iSAM Securities has announced that Aaron Brown has joined the firm in the UAE, in a strategic move to expand into the Middle East. With nearly two decades of sales experience in the FX and CFD industry, iSAM said Aaron will support the brand in growing its global presence going forward.
Joining iSAM Securities after leaving IXO Prime where he was Head of MENA Sales, Aaron Brown brings a range of expertise to the group. He began his career working at the London Metal Exchange and then at Société Générale on the LME’s open trading floor, before moving into retail FX and CFDs in 2011. His senior experience in institutional sales includes various London-based roles in a number of the key players in the market, while his role at ADSS moved his career overseas from London to Abu Dhabi to focus on the MENA region.
iSAM Securities, which provides multi-asset liquidity, cutting-edge technology and robust risk management services, said it is ready to offer these capabilities to institutional clients in the MENA region. The firm’s global presence includes offices in London, Hong Kong, the Cayman Islands and Florida (USA), supported by its parent company, the $5 billion systematic hedge fund manager, iSAM.
Sam Johnson, Global Head of Business Development, iSAM Securities said,
“We are delighted to welcome Aaron Brown to the team and work with him to lead our growth in the region. Aaron’s wealth of institutional sales experience, strong network and in-depth understanding of customer requirements in the Middle East will help us capitalize on recent customer demand in the region while providing the same innovative, high-quality products and services we offer in all our customers worldwide”.
Aaron Brown added,
“Joining iSAM Securities is a great opportunity for me – the company has a strong pedigree, ambitious growth plans and an excellent team, many of whom I have known for many years. I am excited to work with the team and contribute to the global growth of the brand.”
