Markets.com, the retail brokerage arm of Finalto, has continued its C-Suite management overhaul, announcing the appointment of Marcelo Spina as Chief Operating Officer (COO). The company said this key addition to the Markets.com team is part of the company’s ongoing commitment to enhance its service offerings and provide innovative financial solutions to its clients.
Marcelo Spina is a veteran of the FX and CFD industry and brings with him a wealth of experience of over 20 years in the retail and institutional brokerage spaces, having previously worked at Morgan Stanley, FXCM, Gain Capital, GFT and Saxo Bank. Most recently Marcelo was CEO of CySEC licensed brokerage Eurotrader.
Markets.com said his specialty lies in helping build and transform companies by focusing on customer experience and the effectiveness of interactions.
Speaking about his appointment, Marcelo said:
“I am very excited to join Markets.com and help grow the business by developing our customer experience, products and services and refining and implementing our global strategy to continue to be a global power in the online trading space. It’s a challenging and rewarding place to be. The market is growing and this is an incredible time to help shape the business in a bold new direction as it evolves and grows over the coming years. I am very much a product to be part of the team and be part of the journey!”
The moves come as Markets.com embarks on the next phase of its strategic ambitions with a renewed focus on emerging markets in Asia, Africa and Latin America to leverage its established European operations.
Matthew Maloney, Group CEO of Finalto, welcomed Marcelo to the team:
“Marcello is a proven leader with an excellent track record in the financial services industry. He brings a wealth of experience and knowledge and is a welcome addition to our leadership team at Markets.com.”
Markets.com appointed Stavros Anastasiou as CEO last June. Earlier this month, Dany Mawas joined Markets.com as Managing Director of South Africa.
